The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa in Guateng said the burning of the clinic in Tembisa during protest does nothing to solve the problem at hand.
This follows protest action
which happened on Tuesday whereby angry residents burnt down a clinic and
looted shops after illegally connected electricity was cut off.
Thirty-six people were
arrested in the process for public violence.
Denosa Chairperson in Gauteng
Simphiwe Gada said they feel that the burning of the clinic disregards the
rights of other citizens to access to healthcare.
Gada said it’s not something
that communities should take lightly as this is something we condemn in the
strongest possible terms.
Gada said the people
responsible for these acts of public violence we call on law enforcement to
arrests them and face the full might of the law.
“The issue of health should
not be something that people should take for granted but rather respected” Gada
added.
