Ousted Numsa deputy who called out union bosses takes fight to court

In her papers, Ntlokotse says disciplinary proceedings against her took place on April 24 in spite of her not being in attendance and in spite of her request for a postponement. The outcome of these proceedings was her expulsion from the union.

She says she attended the appeal hearing on July 7 but the hearing was “fatally flawed” and biased, and the members of the special committee “did not apply their mind on the charges constituting the essence of the appeal”. She says she wanted to avoid going to court, but internal remedies were “exhausted” with the internal appeals process.

In her urgent application, set for August 24, Ntlokotse also wants the court to finalise two other matters before the labour court and the labour appeal court.took place in July 2022. In one matter, Numsa is appealing a labour courtto interdict the union from going ahead with its congress. In the second, Ntlokotse wants the court to finalise the application she made to the labour court to declare all resolutions passed at the congress invalid.

Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola said: “Numsa has noted that the expelled former second deputy president Ruth Ntlokotse plans to make an application to the high court. Numsa will be in court, and we will oppose the application and defend the organisation and its decision.”
