IN CONVERSATION WITH Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, NUMSA National Spokesperson

Loading player...
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has been granted a certificate to strike by the CCMA, after it deadlocked with employers of the Bombela Operating Company (BOC) which manages the Gautrain. Wage negotiations deadlocked on the 9th of June 2025 and NUMSA filed a dispute with the CCMA which was heard yesterday. Unfortunately, parties were still unable to find one another due to the arrogance of the Bombela Operating Company (BOC) management which has resulted in a certificate to strike being issued.
