*Friday, August 20, 2010* * * *DENOSA claims victory in Mmabatho College of Nursing* * * Following a marathon three-month closure of the Mmabatho College of Nursing in the North West province, DENOSA has successfully won the fight against the department to open the college. On Monday, August 16, 2010, DENOSA legal department headed by Paul Motsepe filled an urgent court application to the Labour court. The application requested the court to order the North West Department of Health and Social Development to open the Mmabatho College of Nursing unconditionally. The hearing was set for Thursday, August 19, 2010 however the counsel representing the department approached DENOSA legal team with the intention of settling the matter outside the court. The resolution was for the department to unconditionally re-open the college with effect from Monday, August 23, 2010. DENOSA has ensured that the counsel representing the department confirms on record to the court that the college will be reopened unconditionally next Monday. This is due to past experiences that have taught us that the North West department of Health and Social Development is not to be trusted. We are content that this specific matter has reached its logical conclusion, however we shall continue pursuing other legal issues related to it. *End* * * *Issued by:* *Asanda Fongqo* *DENOSA* *Communications Manager* *012 343 2315 ext 235* *079 875 2663* * * *For more information contact DENOSA North West Provincial Secretary Oscar Phaka on 082 411 3545* -- You are subscribed.
