NUM to hold its women structure elective conference

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) will on the 19th-20th November 2014 hold its 6th National Women's Conference at the Birchwood Conference Centre in Boksburg.

The conference will be addressed by the NUM leadership, Zingiswa Losi Cosatu second Deputy President, Susan Shabangu Minister of Women in the Presidency, Tloko Mpumlwana Deputy Chairperson Commission on Gender Equality and representatives from the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the African National Congress (ANC).

The media is hereby invited to attend and report.
