A little boy collapsed at a rugby game a few Saturdays back. He has been diagnosed with leukemia and aside from praying for a miracle the people around him are praying for enough medical personnel at the hospital where he is at – Tygerberg – to assist in his ward.
As some of you may know, we have numerous strikes going on. It is technically one strike that is affecting numerous areas. The war is with the Unions and getting fare wages. Our schools, hospitals and even gas stations are being effected. There have been days that the kids just sit there or get sent home because there are no teachers. People are not getting medical treatment, even in emergencies due to not having Drs or nurses. Much more minor is the fact that it takes longer to get help at the station, because there are few tendants working.
I have a feeling there is a lot more that is going on with this, as well. This is just all that I have heard about and seen.
