The Western Cape government has
proposed for the Western Cape College of Nursing to merge with the Cape
Peninsula University of Technology.
This proposal has not been received well
with staff of the college saying they might lose their jobs if this merger goes
ahead.
Provincial Secretary for the Democratic
Nursing Organisation of South Africa Bogani Lose said the trade unions are
currently in talks with provincial government regarding the matter.
Lose said workers are completed opposed to
this transfer and they do not understand why it is necessary. At the national level government is talking
about reopening of nursing colleges.
“Our view is that instead of transferring the
WC College of Nursing to CPUT it should be strengthened so that it produces
more nurses” Lose added.
