Teachers plan protest over medical aid hike

Public servants are gearing up to protest on Friday over being forced to use public hospitals and a bullshit medical aid hike.

Friday’s planned demonstration

• Mahongora Kavihuha said the new medical aid directive had zero consultation.
• Employees now have to pay the full 100% contribution themselves.
• The protest will go down at the Angolan Embassy in Ausspanplatz.
• Kavihuha called the public hospital order a violation of employment conditions.

Teachers told to stay at their posts

• Education executive director Erastus Haintegela ordered principals to track attendance.
• He said Friday is a normal school day with no suspension of classes.
• The directive requires all staff to be at their duty stations.
• He emphasized that parents should face minimal disruption to schedules.

Nandi-Ndaitwah’s approach gets slammed

• Kavihuha accused the new administration of ruling by presidential directive.
• He claimed there’s zero social dialogue happening on major decisions.
• The 100% contribution increase is part of the same pattern.
• A 5% salary bump proposed by Nantu is also on the shit list.
