Indeed the whole of the working class can feel proud of President Zuma's excellent choice in cde Nxesi. We need cadres who will devote all their energies on serving the people of SA, especially the working class and not people who get embroiled in scandals because of their self-serving interests!
Let us all wish cde Nxesi well in this very important portfolio. I am certain he will acquit himself with distinction. Amandla!!!

Nxesi's meteoric rise in parliament is due to his dedication to the betterment of the lives of the poor and the marginalized in South Africa. He is pragmatic and a true revolutionary who worked tirelessly to build a strong and dedicated teacher union. As a principled leader Cde Nxesi didn't suffer from the need to be a populist and demagogue leader but always stood firm to defend the Alliance and its leadership. Cde Nxesi was deployed to Parliament by the ANC in May 2009. He first served as the chairperson of the International Relations Portfolio Committee before he became the Deputy Minister in October last year. SADTU has no doubt that Cde Nxesi will, through his pragmatism, handle the portfolio. Cde Nxesi cut his teeth in politics through his activities in education transformation. He worked tirelessly towards the formation of the South African Democratic Teachers Union. He recruited and organized members and was elected General Secretary in 1995. His work in the Union resonated in the international teacher union arena. In 2004, Nxesi was elected as President of Education International (EI) -- a global teacher union federation with more than 30 million members. His work within EI was impeccable. He received a special commendation at the EI's Congress held in Cape Town in July. ** *Issued by SADTU Secretariat* ** *_Contact_**: * *General Secretary, Mugwena Maluleke, 082 783 2968* *Deputy General Secretary, Nkosana Dolopi, 082 709 5651* *Media Officer, Nomusa Cembi, 082 719 5157* -- You are subscribed.
