The Public Servants' Association says the justice department should ensure justice for all yet seems to be excluding its own employees in Limpopo.The Public Servants' Association has threatened legal action against the Limpopo department of justice and constitutional development if the department continues to ignore calls to provide personal protective equipment to its employees who work at courts.
According to the association, courts and offices in Mahwelereng, Praktiseer, Nebo, Groblersdal, Mookgophong, Belabela, Phalaborwa, Namakgale, Lulekani, Polokwane, Praktiseer, Moutse, Lebowakgomo and Schoonoord don't have adequate equipment but employees are expected to perform their duties. “It is further alleged that some officials are expected to wash and reuse single-use disposable gloves and must purchase sanitisers themselves,” the association said.
“The department, as custodian of constitutional values and human rights, should not make itself guilty of violating the rights of its own employees by subjecting them to dangerous and unsafe working conditions. The department, despite endeavouring to provide justice for all in South Africa, seems to be excluding its own employees in Limpopo.”
“The PSA’s interventions at local level have failed to resolve the problem, and the union therefore calls upon the accounting officer of the department to intervene and ensure immediate compliance. Should this matter not be resolved, the PSA will be forced to explore the options to protect its members’ rights, including litigation,” the PSA said.

Tests after death confirm ailing man in Limpopo had Covid-19Limpopo's health department said tests have confirmed that a man who died at a private medical practice was Covid-19 positive but did not appear to have known he had the virus. Covid19SA 🙆🙆🙆 How did he managed to reach Limpopo during the lockdown? The ignorance is so painful though, so someone is sick with probably Covid symptoms, they leave hospitals in WC & drive him all the way to Limpopo for a traditional healer? That son must also be charged.

Tests after death confirm ailing man in Limpopo had Covid-19Limpopo's health department said tests have confirmed that a man who died at a private medical practice was Covid-19 positive but did not appear to have known he had the virus. Arrest the son. He's placed innocent lives in danger by driving back his sick father and now, by not disclosing people they came in contact with. This is upsetting. Tracing, testing and quarantining are our only hope!!
