NEHAWU Shopstewards, whose members are striking at hospitals and clinics in the North West province, are meeting in Mafikeng to discuss allegations that their members are blockading entrances to hospitals in order to prevent doctors and other non-striking workers from working.

Doctors were removed from wards and theatres while conducting their duties last week.Desperate doctors in the NW province wrote a letter to provincial authorities last week calling on them to intervene.
