President Jacob Zuma received a rousing welcome at the Numsa national political commission in Johannesburg on Thursday.

Delegates wished him a long life in their customary call and respond salutations.

National Union of Mineworkers of SA general secretary Irvin Jim went on to state the union's positions on the working class.

Zuma browsed on his iPad while listening to Jim reading his speech off an iPad.

Jim said the government and the ANC had correctly identified poverty inequality and unemployment as the “triple crisis” facing South Africa.

Numsa's stance that the SA Reserve Bank should be nationalised and that a programme be instituted of agrarian reform and the return of assets from white capitalists was urgent.

“These are not negotiable,” he said. - Sapa
