South Africa: Nehawu Statement of the 6th Plenary Session of Its 11th National Executive Committee

press release

The National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union [NEHAWU] convened its 6th plenary session of National Executive Committee [NEC] meeting of the 11th National Congress on the 30th - 31st October 2020. The NEC considered the international context, national political and socio-economic situations including organisational assessment in particular matters affecting our members and the working class in general.

The NEC meeting took place while the system of capitalism is busy lurching from one crises to the other. World economies are facing severe contractions with very minimal growth. In South Africa over half [55.5%] of our population lives in poverty and 9 out of 10 black people are poor. The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus has further exposed the fact that capitalism is unable to sustain itself both systematically and structurally. Capitalism as a system has ran its course and this further solidifies the case for the advancement of a socialist cause. The current crises of capitalism prompts the working class to unite and advance towards the attainment of socialism as an alternative to the crises ridden system of capitalism. In this regard, NEHAWU will continue to mobilise all its members and workers under the banner of socialism and for the total collapse of the draconian system of capitalism.
