Renowned unionist Cedric Gina dies
Gina died in Addington hospital in Durban on Monday, following an illness
Former Liberated Metalworkers Union of SA (Limusa) founding general secretary and former National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) president Cedric Gina has died. The renowned unionist died on Monday at Addington hospital in Durban following an illness. Gina established Limusa after he resigned from Numsa in 2013, as labour federation Cosatu was preparing to expel the union the next year. He had been president of Numsa since 2008. He was also an active member of the ANC and the SACP. He had served workers in various positions since 1993, when he was first elected a shop steward at Numsa. “Cedric has dedicated most of his life to the working-class struggle and labour movement in particular. Cedric was the embodiment our alliance and … served structures of the SACP and the ANC,” said Limusa general secretary Siboniso Mdletshe. mahlakoanat@businesslive.co.za
