NEHAWU is outraged at the publication of yet another guesstimate exercise purporting to be a credible study on the costs of the National Health Insurance (NHI) in the Business Report (15 February 2010).

A statement from the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) says it is concerned by the deaths of miners, following the death of two miners in accidents yesterday, bringing to four the number of miners who dies this week. The union says it is “infuriated” at comments attributed to the elite Chamber published in the Sowetan that there is a 26% improvement in mine deaths, saying “such views can only come from people who have overly intoxicated themselves with expensive whisky out of the sweat of poor people.”
