SAMWU.gif South African Municipal Workers' Union, Media Statement Report of the Central Executive Committee to remove the former President Pule Molalenyane, 1st Deputy President John Dlamini and National Treasurer The South African Municipal Workers Union wish to take this opportunity to clarify our members, revolutionary alliance structures and the general public about the latest developments emanating from the Central Executive Committee meeting which took place on the 14 March 2015, City Lodge in Gauteng Province. It must be noted that the CEC was convened in terms of South African Municipal Workers Union's constitution after provinces made attempts for more than three time persuading National office Bearers to convene. As such all decisions taken are binding and all members and structures must respect the resolutions of CEC where eight provinces were attendance. The CEC arrived at quite number of resolutions which suggest progress in terms of defending the labour union from the wrong posture it has been driven to. We were clear as SAMWU in our last CEC going to Special COSATU Congress that we will support progressive view to defend the federation. But later on we were shocked to learn that our former National Office Bearer are now taking a different direction that of conniving with the new federation and they are attending meetings in the dark corners without our mandate. They went on disbanding structures of the union than are viewed to be behind COSATU and its leadership with an aim of installing people who will be controlled to support splits for them to take SAMWU to the new federation. All this were happening without following proper constitutional parameters: they removed the Deputy General Secretary Duma Lebakeng, Eastern Cape Provincial Chairperson, Gauteng Provincial Chairperson, North Cape Chairperson and KZN Provincial Office Bearers. Our former National Office Bearers were running the union like private property which left us with no option but to look for remedial measures in terms of the constitution. That the CEC was constitutional rather than what we heard on statements sent out by the disgruntled former President, Pule Molalenyane. Further structures must note that Provincial Chairpersons made attempts to arrest the behavior of the former President but could not succeed, COSATU National Leadership led by Comrade President Sdumo Dlamini intervened advising the National Office Bearers to convene CEC to deal with organizational matters but that could not happen. Some resolutions between COSATU and SAMWU meeting are as follows: . National Office Bearer convene CEC immediately . That they must stop expelling and suspending shopstewards . KZN congress to be put on hold until CEC Isolation and sidelining of the General Secretary The General Secretary of the Union Comrade Simon Mathe has been treated like an ordinary clerk who does not have authority to take decisions by the former National Office Bearers. He was refused entrance at the interdicted unconstitutional special congress of the KZN province which took place on the 10 March 2016 despite court order. Now there is an instruction to the security personnel in Head Office to deny the General Secretary access to the union offices Key resolutions of the Central Executive Committee . The CEC resolved to terminate the membership of the President Pule Molalenyane, 1st Deputy President John Dlamini and National Treasurer Portia Lindi . And that the HoD, Moses Miya be suspended with immediate effect pending investigations . The CEC resolve to elect interim structure that shall coordinate special congress within three month Election of interim leadership The Central Executive Committee resolved to elect the following comrades on an interim bases as follows: President: TT Tshililo (LP) 1st Deputy President: Nomvula Hadi (EC) National Treasurer: Samora Ndlovu (KZN) On 2016 local government elections SAMWU shall put aside budget to support the ANC for landslide victory during the 2016 local government elections.
