Shingange, who will guide the federation for the next four years, emphasized that strengthening the Tripartite Alliance relies on real commitment and urged an end to opportunistic partnerships. He urged comrades and workers to view the alliance as a sustained partnership, not a fleeting resource. The new leadership team includes Susan Khumalo as First Deputy President, Mbali Blose as Second Deputy President, Zingiswa Losi as General-Secretary, and Gerald Twala as Deputy General Secretary.",
