Recently ousted Numsa second deputy president and SA Federation of Trade Union president Ruth Ntlokotse is not backing down and is ready to cross swords once more with the union, as she says the battle against corruption and death of the worker control principle in the union is not over.
She was initially expelled in May, following a disciplinary inquiry held at Birchwood Hotel in Ekurhuleni, in her absence, because she failed to attend, according to the union. At the time, independent chairperson, labour law specialist Charlie Higgs recommended Ntlokotse’s expulsion and the national executive committee body of the union endorsed it.
“On the one hand, it claimed I am no longer a national office bearer and, therefore, an ordinary member. However, according to the constitution, ordinary members are disciplined at the regional level. Yet, they have taken me straight to the NEC and now the CC. That is the procedure for national office bearers.”
Numsa is not aware of complaints by any of its members on any delay in payment or a complete non-payment of their benefits.
