ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi has lashed out at the government for giving health workers a deaf ear over their demands for better working conditions and pay. Mudavadi said health workers are at the country’s frontline warriors in the fight against Covid-19 pandemic and their grievances should be considered urgent. “We cannot have a government which is just giving empty promises to health workers especially during this trying moment when the country is facing a crisis as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he stated. The ANC leader said complaints of lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and allowances for health workers are disheartening. “We need to interrogate then vote not vote then interrogate when already someone is occupying an office or a seat.
