NMB residents fed up with understaffed clinics 

GQEBERHA - Vacant posts at Eastern Cape health facilities have led to an angry protest at a clinic in Motherwell.

Community members had waited outside the clinic gates from early on Monday, only to find out that just two nurses reported for work and they felt unable to render services. 

The National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers says the provincial government is saying there's no money for more staff.

The provincial health department says it's aware of of the protest at the Motherwell clinic.
