Seshoka leaves NUM

Johannesburg - National Union of Mineworkers' (NUM) spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka is leaving the union at the end of the month, he says.

"I'm joining an institution of higher education which I may not disclose for now. I think is time to move on. I have spent 13 years in the trade unions."

He said on Wednesday that he had worked for the NUM for seven years; had spent six years at the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA and a year at the education council.

"I think it is time to interact with young people who are not yet teachers and nurses. I have interacted with teachers, nurses and mineworkers."

Seshoka said he had worked as a part-time lecturer and felt it was time to follow his interest in teaching.

He said it had been a good to work for the NUM.

"They give you freedom to speak. You do not have to consult with the secretary general," he said in a statement.
