Dr Bam continues sharing personal anecdotes of the life experiences she shared with Emma. She shares her experiences of belonging to the same stokvel and reflects on Emma Mashinini's life as a staunch churchgoer, and community leader. She then ends her address. #UJEmmaMashinini

What would a gathering of trade unionists be without a little bit of singing? Mbhazima Shilowa, former premier of Gauteng and trade unionist, begins by singing: #UJEmmaMashinini #WorkOfFreedom

Shilowa:"Our country being amongst the most unequal society, wealth still reflecting apartheid patterns, we need to commit in her honour to be soldiers to build an inclusive society. We should not rest until our country is truly non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and united." 1/2

Shilowa: "We should not rest until we can walk safely in our streets without the fear of crime. But above all we should not rest until our government changes course and implement policies that prioritise economic growth, job creation, a real living wage." 2/2

Hon Shilowa ends his address. #UJEmmaMashinini #WorkOfFreedom #UJ20

Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Professor Kammila Naidoo, that is co-host of this lecture gives a vote of thanks. #UJ20 #UJEmmaMashinini #WorkOfFreedom

General Secretary of the South African Commercial Catering and Allied Workers Union (SACCAWU), Mduduzi Mbongwe, gives thanks on behalf of the trade unionists. "Like comrade Emma, she never ran away from the unions. She didn't criticize because she was no longer a leader."
