FEDUSA elects new leadership

The Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) has chosen a new leadership team at its 8th National Congress held in Kempton Park. Refitlhile Baloyi, representing the Public Servants Association, has been chosen as the new President, taking over from Godfrey Selematsela. Martlé Keyter and Waheed Hoosen have been appointed as Deputy Presidents.

All seven positions of National Office Bearer were uncontested. Speaking on his immediate priorities, the newly elected President emphasized the need to reorganize and unify workers for union membership. Baloyi noted that young people have lost interest in unions, and the rising cost of living, particularly the increase in fuel prices, is a major concern affecting everyone in the country. He proposed using FEDUSA forums and platforms to address these pressing issues and seek relief.
