NUM to Host Press Conference on National Mass Mobilization Against Eskom Unbundling and Privatization

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) will host a press conference on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, following a decisive National Executive Committee (NEC) resolution to launch a series of coordinated regional marches across all the NUM eleven regions.

The union is embarking on these mass mobilizations to voice its rejection of the unbundling and looming privatization of Eskom. These actions will target Eskom of fices and various government departments nationwide to protect the interests of workers and the energy security of the country.

In addition to the Eskom mobilization strategy, the NUM National Office Bearers (NOBs) will provide critical updates on the state of the Ferrochrome industry and other pressing labour, economic and political matters in the country.
