ANA reports that prominent trade unionist Patrick Craven is leaving the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (Numsa).
In a statement on Monday, Numsa general Secretary, Irvin Jim said: "On behalf of Numsa, I would like to thank Comrade Patrick Craven for his years of service and dedication to the workers movement in general, and to Numsa in particular". He added: "Although Comrade Craven has been with Numsa for a short time, he has formally served the South African workers movement since 2000, when he joined (labour federation) Cosatu as editor of its magazine, 'The Shopsteward' and later became its spokesperson". Craven resigned from Cosatu in April 2015, in protest, after the controversial expulsion of general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi.
