The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) has in the last few weeks held a number of workplace meetings to garner support amongst members for a nationwide anti-corruption march scheduled for Wednesday 30 September. Numsa is a key member of a coalition of more than 100 organisations known as Unite Against Corruption.
At the beginning of July, Numsa filed a notice with the National Economic Labour and Development Council (NEDLAC) to embark on a protected strike against corruption. A number of general meetings to mobilise worker’s to join en masse the Unite Against Corruption march, are being held this weekend: This weekend’s mobilisation focusses around the province of Gauteng. Members of the Steering Committee such as
Mark Heywood and Zwelinzima Vavi will address the meetings.
The coalition’s Steering Committee (SC) has been emboldened by the massive support the march continues to receive from all sections of our society in general and workers in particular.
