The South Africa Federation of Trade unions is calling on the leaders of all its affiliated unions and the rest of the working-class movement to donate whatever they can for the victims of the Alexandra fire that flattened 500 of their homes and left them destitute.
Donations can be of any form: money, canned food, clothing (old or new) and material with which to build their shacks. SAFTU will co-ordinate with Gift of the Givers to deliver these donations on our behalf before Christmas.
Others can bring their donation at any time of day to the SAFTU Head Office at JC Bez House, 34 Eloff Street, Johannesburg. SAFTU will also make Gift of the Givers bank details to all its members so that they can donate directly.
SAFTU has called a meeting of its Political and Ideological Commission on Wednesday 12 December 2018 and is urging all those attending to bring whatever they can to that meeting an lead by example.This call is extended to all union officials.
