The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is deeply disturbed and saddened by the passing away of Emeritus Professor Vic Allen yesterday.
"He was a historian, stalwart and an anti-apartheid activist. He was a close friend of mineworkers in South Africa and around the world. A distinguished friend of the NUM and South Africa, an academic, intellectual and an international activist who has been a comrade and friend of the NUM throughout its struggles.," said Frans Baleni, NUM General Secretary.
Its birth was facilitated by comrades Cyril Ramaphosa who rose to be its first General Secretary, James Motlatsi who turned to be its first President, and Elijah Barayi who became its Vice President and later the President of Cosatu in 1985 when the federation was formed. porn
