More than 200 nurses will stage a sit-in at the offices of the Department of Health in the North West on Monday, to demand their immediate employment at clinics and hospitals.
The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (Denosa) Student Movement, which will lead the demonstration, said the department promised to give the nurses employment offers after completing their community service in June last year.
However, it claimed the department failed to fulfil its promise, citing budgetary constraints for the 2024/25 financial year.
