NUMSA was on the ground this week.

On Monday, 2nd Deputy President Cde Puleng Phaka, Cde Eric Mohlala and Cde Pappie Masisi were in Kimberley and Douglas. On Tuesday they were in Selosesha, and on Thursday and Friday they spent time in Vryburg.

They were there for the workers, recruiting, servicing, representing and, most importantly, listening to Eskom workers about what they are facing.

Thank you to the workers who took time to engage with us. Being visible and accessible on the ground is how we build a stronger NUMSA.

📢 Supporting our youth and investing in our communities!

Today, NUMSA in the Eastern Cape and its Gender Substructure had the privilege of visiting Esitiyeni Primary School.

Together with the generous support of Efficient Corporate Solutions. We handed over netball gear, a soccer ball, and sanitary towels to support the learners.

Building healthy, empowered communities starts with giving our young people the tools and dignity they need to thrive both on and off the sports field.

NUMSA must thank everyone involved in making this handover a success!

Forward with working-class youth forward!!

Staying connected is vital. By keeping our staff informed, we ensure that everyone is moving in the same direction as we continue to fight for the rights of workers across the country.

Together, we are stronger.
