In Conversation with Mametlwe Sebei, The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) President.

Background info:
The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) vehemently rejects Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s 2025 Budget Speech, which imposes increased burdens on the working class, entrenches neoliberal austerity, and continue redistribution of wealth from the working class to the elite, whilst leaving intact neocolonial extractivism, and the domination of multinational corporations and white monopoly capital over South Africa’s fast-hollowing economy.
This budget is not merely a failure to tackle the crisis facing the working class—it is an active assault on the working class and a betrayal of the democratic promises of economic justice and equality.
