DELIVERING EXCELLENCE

We stand by our motto PRIDE * UNITY * TRUST |

UNTU IS THE UNION OF CHOICE

As the General Secretary of UNTU, I take great pride in leading a union that continues to stand at the forefront of advancing the rights, interests, and well-being of workers across South Africa’s transport sector. Today, UNTU is the majority union within key institutions such as Transnet, PRASA ( Including Long Distance Passenger Transport), Railway Safety Regulator, SAMSA, including employees within the Maritime Special Projects (MSP, as well as SA Cargo Services.

This position is not by chance. It is the result of consistent, principled leadership, commitment to service delivery, and the collective strength of our members who embody the true spirit of trade unionism.

UNTU remains dedicated to protecting jobs, improving working conditions, and ensuring that the voices of our members are not only heard but respected at every level of engagement

We welcome you to UNTU
