Women living near Mpumalanga's second biggest hospital, Themba Hospital, will stage a march on Friday in protest against nurses who refuse to wear uniforms to work.

Nurses at the hospital in KaBokweni outside White River have refused to wear their whites since June last year because of their own protest against a shortage of medicine and equipment at the hospital.

The women will hand a memorandum to the hospital management, insisting that action be taken against nurses in civilian clothes.

"We women in the Nsikazi area fear for our safety because anyone can pretend to be a nurse in civilian clothing and poison patients in revenge for some or other dispute," said march organiser Thembi Thwala.

Thwala, a housewife, and other women have put up posters lobbying for residents to join them on Friday.
