GOVERNMENT has dismissed 30 more nurses from the University Teaching Hospital for participating in an illegal strike.
Zambia Union of Nurses Organisation president Thom Yung’ana confirmed the latest dismissals saying the government did not finish the process of firing nurses.
“Yes, some nurses have been given dismissal letters. According to what we have been told, they (government) did not finish giving the letters to those that participated in the strike. We have been told that the first part was done and now this is the second and last part,” he said.
Yung’ana said about 30 nurses received dismissal letters on Monday, and more letters were expected yesterday.
And some nurses talked to said it was sad that the government had continued to fire them.
“Why should they honestly do this to us? Why didn’t they just give us at the same time, instead of waiting for two weeks? Some of us thought that they had finished firing nurses…It’s like the only thing they want to do is to punish us, they are forgetting that a lot of people are dying because the hospital has no nurses,” said one affected nurses.
A check at UTH yesterday found student nurses attending to patients in most wards while the theatres were closed

Zambia is lost..
This is too much now. Doom to De civil service. If they ar given 0.05% increment in 2016 who is going 2 stand fo them, with their toothless and impotent union. Hiding in De name of illegal strike, is there any strike which is legal
Ba bachibwino, ba mbefwe ubule, none will be dismissed with that.
It’s like the only thing they want to do is to punish us, they are forgetting that a lot of people are dying because the hospital has no nurses,” said one affected nurses. this is fun, This is when they have realized that people are actually dying? they did know? people died when they were on strike. nurses are just like any other civil servant in Zambia. let their Union sort out this mess.
Cleansing process…. Lesson No 1.
Wen the public cry out over the ill treatment by these nurses, let a wise nurse watch out. this is the same public that voted in the PF.
You are right,Why should government fire others and spare you?
next z de korapt police and its traffic wing (we r coming get read)!!

Good analysis LOLA of which de President is not thinking like U!
These nurse if they new that patients are dying in hospitals they could have hid to govern call for them to go back to work has during that time many people lost lifes they did see that has long or punishment to innocent sick people in the hospitals now that they are fired they have started seeing sense in that call, and there are the ones saying hospital has no staffs and people dying chase them all they dared the Government why must they cries.
good point GPS. but where is ZCTU with their motto “TOUCH ONE TOUCH ALL” or is it now called “TOUCH ONE DISAPPEAR ALL” toothless Unions they just chew our more money in the pocket.
Why should they honestly do this to us? Some of us thought that they had finished firing nurses…It’s like the only thing they want to do is to punish us, they are forgetting that a lot of people are dying because the hospital has no nurses,” said one affected nurses…. shame indeed,good move for pf that’s why we voted for them to clean all the mess.
Its pay back time. The nurses need to dance. If they want reinstatement let them bring back the people who died back to life. Why should they worry about the people now? they stayed illigally from work for ten days and they never thought about people. Let them go and eat their own vomit.
Only some one who promote illegality can support the dismissed nurses. They should not cry foul. Hakalichite
Fire them all. we want order in the public sector.
@EdwardSnowden.foolishness
It is said the wise think before they talk, am affraid this does not apply to you my dear brother. my friend we still need their experty,we will lose more precious live in the absence of the same nurses. Yes fire them all then “what” hire inexperienced caders.
Generally the attitude of nurses leave much to be desired. They can be so cruel sometimes. We know they wanted money but surely doing this at the expense of life? Is this what they learnt from Florence Nightngale? (spelling).
Bonnse mwebali against the nurse’s fikala fyenu ne finyo ukununka..mwebakalafwa nimwebo being attended to nurses without experience and proper supervision ..

God is not sleeping…His vengeance will soon prevail…..@crocodile in your dreams can a nurse become a prostitute because the zambian govt dismisses her..thats a big lie…nurses aint picked frm the streets..serious schooling is involved.mind your language.it may not b u bt ur niece.daughter or any other who wud pursue nursing…laugh on…..
When there were striking they didn’t see that people are dying that’s when you have seen now that you need a job?you know its know it bad to show up just because you want to show up any way this the leason to all nurses I believe the gvrmt will 4give them

Fire them and we will hire them in private hospitals with better pay.

It is sad that some people fail to think straight,how can one surely support the gvt wen there is already a shortage off nurses. Remember 2morrow it might be u o relative who gets sick then wat.
