The Labour Court in Johannesburg on Saturday declared the suspension of National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa second deputy president Ruth Ntlokotse and that of 30 other officials"unconstitutional, invalid and unenforceable in law".
Labour Court Judge Graham Moshoana said that Numsa had"put the cart before the horse" when it suspended the officials. But Moshoana said the members of Numsa deserve a better and proper protection."To have a leadership or structure that unashamedly flouts the founding document of the constitution is not in the best interest of the general membership," he said. In May, Ntlokotse was elected president of Numsa's umbrella federation, the South African Federation of Trade Unions .
The judge added that the case of Ntlokotse was nothing more or less than"a lament for compliance" with the Numsa constitution.
