SACTWU saddened by the passing of NUM General Secretary
The COSATU-affiliated Southern African Clothing & Textile Workers’ Union is saddened by the untimely sudden passing of David Sipunzi, General Secretary of the National Union Of Mineworkers (NUM), yesterday.
We have worked well with him and the union which he represented so firmly, to defend and advance worker rights across industries, not only just in the mining sector.
Our hearts go out to the hundreds of thousands of mineworkers in South Africa, and millions globally, through our joint affiliation of IndustriAll Global Union.
We convey our condolences to NUM, and to his family.
We shall always remember him as a principled stalwart of our movement, a firm subscriber of democratic centralism, and a humble servant of workers in particular and our people in general.
Issued by
André Kriel
GENERAL SECRETARY
