Nurses
and support staff at a major hospital in Swaziland walked
off work on Wednesday (26 October 2016) because they had not been paid.
It
happened at Good Shepherd Hospital in Siteki.
Management
blamed the Swazi Government which had not passed on money for salaries.
Nurses
and support staff resolved to stay away from wards pending payment. Senior
staff, supervisors and doctors had to take care of patients. Last month (September
2016), salaries were also delayed and the workers were paid after taking
similar strike action.
