30 January 2023
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) Highveld Region which is located in Mpumalanga where majority of Eskom Power Station are situated, had a meeting with Minister Gordhan last week Friday (27 January 2023).
The meeting was about discussing a way forward with regard to the continued loadsheddingthat is currently sabotaging and causing lot of uncertainties to the country’s economic future and general social lives.
The NUM which is the majority trade union at Eskom submitted a very comprehensive and detailed plans to the Minister on how we believe we can defeat load-shedding.
The NUM is a pragmatic trade union movement that believes in collective efforts that should bring a permanent solution to the load-shedding problems. Unlike other spectators that we are seeing on daily basis, parading as energy experts yet they do not bring any solution to the table. Those spectators do not even know how does the boiler or turbine look like, and instead, they rely on Google search to understand the functioning of the power utility. As the NUM we say don’t mourn, but organise.
