Application for dismissal denied in FS community health workers case─── CATHY DLODLO 13:41 Tue, 07 Jul 2015
Bloemfontein - An application to have the charges against 94 Free State community health workers dismissed, has been denied in a Bloemfontein court this morning.
Magistrate Zukiswa Thafeni said she could not find anything wrong with the charges and the trial continued.
A total of 129 workers were arrested in July last year while they were staging a sit-in at the provincial headquarters in Bloemfontein. They were protesting against the termination of their contracts.
OFM News' Cathy Dlodlo reports that the state has called its first witness - police captain Mantsidiso Lesemola from the public order unit.
