The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has confirmed that it has laid a criminal case against Popcru’s Gauteng Provincial Secretary Steve Matsemela. 

This is after Matsemela publicly made a call for the killing of the Numsa General Secretary Irvin Jim. 

Numsa Spokesperson Castro Ngobese said this matter cannot be taken lightly because we cannot allow a situation whereby barbaric and cowardly call which threatens the lives of our members.

Ngobese added that they hope that the police will investigate the circumstances and the underlying reasons why Matsemela has made this public call.  The matter is no longer in the hands of Numsa but with the police.
