SOUTH AFRICA: Peter Dantjie, the acting general secretary of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, has resigned his position with NUMSA and taken up a senior position in the private sector.
Dantjie served many years as a trade unionist in South Africa. Following the untimely demise a year ago of NUMSA's then general secretary Mbuyiso Ngwenda, Dantjie stepped up to acting general secretary at NUMSA, as well as replacing Ngwenda as a member of the IMF Executive Committee, representing Southern Africa.
The NUMSA National Executive Committee has mandated its president, Mtutuzeli Tom, and first vice-president, Vincent Mabuyakhulu, to run the union on a full-time basis until NUMSA holds its next Congress, in August of this year.
