SA Federation of Trade Unions' president, Ruth Ntlokotse, has broken her silence after being expelled in her capacity as member of the federation's biggest and richest affiliate, the National Union of Metalworkers of SA, earlier this week.
Saftu president Ruth Ntlokotse has been expelled in her capacity as a member of Numsa, which has over 300 000 members.
On Thursday, Numsa's National Executive Committee had accepted the recommendation of a disciplinary hearing in Ekurhuleni to expel Ntlokotse as a member of the 330 000-strong Numsa. She and several other members were prevented from attending the conference due to suspension. In her court papers in July 2022 she argued that she and the other members had been barred because she was planning to run for the position of Numsa president. Ultimately Andrew Chirwa was re-elected as Numsa president and Puleng Phaka was elected second deputy president – the position Ntlokotse previously held.
While the postponement had not been granted, Ntlokotse said that she had opted to put her consultation duties first:
