GROUNDUP: Court halts NUMSA congress after mass suspensions of dissenting office bearers

A number of union leaders voiced their concerns following these reports. In the ensuing months Irvin Jim and the central committee subsequently suspended over 25 union leaders including shop stewards, office bearers and officials. The suspensions have been perceived as an attempt to squash criticism of Jim.

On 14 July 2022, the central committee announced the suspension of Ruth Ntlokose, NUMSA’s second deputy president and the newly-elected President of the South African Federation of Trade Unions . This decision was apparently due to Ntlokose’s decision to run for SAFTU’s presidency.for demanding accountability for the 3Sixty Life debacle.

The judge also ruled that the central committee did not have the authority under NUMSA’s constitution to place the Mpumalanga Regional Council under ‘administration’, which would have ruled out the region’s participation in the national congress. The judge found that the participation of delegates in the national congress must be determined by a credentials committee, but none was appointed. Instead the central committee acted as a credentials committee, which Moshoana ruled was unconstitutional.

Ha ha ha.
