ZIMBABWE DOCTORS' STRIKE CRIPPLES HOSPITALS...PATIENTS TURNED AWAY


 Harare- Zimbabwe main state hospital turned away many patients and only attended to emergency cases on Wednesday as the doctors' strike started. The course of the strike is, junior doctors want an increase in their salaries and also wants the government to address drugs shortages in the hospitals. The Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association said that they will only return to work when all their issues have been fully resolved.

Emmerson Mnangagwa(the Zimbabwean President) has vowed to revive the economy and boost investment after the issues which were not resolved by Mugabe(the former president of Zimbabwe) including the salaries issue. The new government must address the doctors' grievances urgently to save people's lives.

All that is happening in Zimbabwe affect every resident of that country especially the sick ones. Yes the doctors want their issues to be resolved but what about the patients? It is good to hear that they at least attend the emergency cases, they are fair. I hope the government resolves all the issues in question as soon as possible before the doctors decide to not attend to even the emergency cases.

REMAINS OF PAC ACTIVISTS EXHUMED AFTER 50 YEARS. Bodies of nine PAC activists have been exhumed this week after being hanged during the apartheid regime. It is said that more than 50 years ago, the fallen activists were taken in Gallows in Pretoria to be executed for their crimes. So last week, the families of the activists were invited to the very same place. The initiative was conducted by by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC) unit of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, together with the Missing Persons Task Team(MPTT) of the National Prosecuting Authority. The remains of nine members of the PAC(which is now a political party) were exhumed, which were hanged between 1963 and 1967. But it's been a long time. Their souls must have been resting in peace and suddenly they are dug up, eish. They died in a horrible way in the first place.Of what use would be to exhume their remains after all these years? But then, they know what they want to do w...

A WOMAN ARRESTED FOR OPENING INDECENT EXPOSURE CASE AGAINST DEAD MAN. A 25-year old woman have been arrested in Durban for opening a false case over a deceased man. The woman claimed that she met with the dead (a 76-year old who was a businessman) this year on February 19 for employment purposes. But it was confirmed even in Home Affairs that the suspect died on April 2016. Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said it was then concluded that the woman opened a case 'based on lies' and should be arrest because she committed a crime. No information confirmed that she was telling the truth. Above all the wrong she did, she wasted the resources of the state on nothing. The Provincial commissioner Bheki Langa warns people to never do anything like this again because they will end-up in jail. I wonder what the woman was expecting to gain on all this?... Many innocent creatures are in jail but they did nothing wrong, they are there because of people like this woman, people who lay charges ag...

MALEMA SAYS EFF IS THE SOLUTION TO SA PROBLEMS. EFF(Economic Freedom Fighters) has criticized South Africans for supporting ANC while it failed to defend them in their daily struggles. The EFF launched its campaign ahead of next year's elections on Sunday in Joburg. Julius Malema, the leader of the EFF said South Africans keep voting for ANC but always look up to EFF to solve their daily struggles. Malema said his party is the solution to problems faced by South African black people. "Every time our people are beaten by whites , they tag the EFF on Twitter but when they vote, they vote for ANC," he said. Malema said black people earn less and are not noticed for promotion in the private sector in favour of their white colleagues. He said that they are taking DA out of Nelson Mandela Bay because SA people want land. He added that the EFF would not vote ANC into power if Mcebisi Jonas( the former deputy finance minister under ex-president Jacob Zuma ) did ...
