The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] will be convening a Provincial Day of Action in the North West directed to the Department of Economic Development and Tourism to deliver a memorandum of demands in relation to the crisis currently engulfing the Department and its entities. 

The Provincial Day of Action comes against the background of the non-payment of salaries of our members and workers by the North West Parks and Tourism Board. Our members and workers at the entity have for a long time had to endure miseries brought about by the treatment from presupposed caring but intransigent management of the department as a direct result of failures of the entity to honour and fulfil its contractual obligations as well as the working conditions. 

The Park Board has been facing a financial crisis for a long-time as a result of mismanagement, poor governance and administration. The entity has had five [5] Acting Chief Executive Officers [CEO] in a short space of time of less than a year, clearly demonstrating the crisis that confronts the entity.   

Details of the Provincial Day of Action are as follows:

Date: Friday April 04, 2025

Time: 09h00

Assembling Point: Montshioa Stadium

As NEHAWU, we remain resolute in defence of our members as they fight for better working conditions. We will continue to wage a relentless struggle to protect the interest of our members and that worker’s rights are respected and protected at all material times.
