The NUM Youth Structure and the ANC Youth League are scheduled to stage a picket outside the Minerals Council South Africa offices in Rosebank in firm opposition to the ongoing retrenchment of mineworkers and high youth unemployment in South Africa.

The picket is planned to take place as follows:
Date: Friday, 24th January 2025
Time: 11h00
Venue: Outside the Minerals Council South Africa in Rosebank

The NUM Youth Structure demands companies to exhaust all options before deciding on retrenching workers. Thousands of mineworkers are today sitting without jobs. One mineworker is able to provide and support more than 10 family members. The NUM Youth Structure calls on all other progressive youth organisations including workers, unions, civil society, and community organisations to join this progressive struggle for worker’s rights.
