Organised labour at the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) invites members of the media to attend and cover the third and final day of the 2026 Nedlac Labour School, which concludes tomorrow (Wednesday). 

The Labour School, convened by organised labour formations comprising COSATU, FEDUSA, SAFTU and NACTU has brought together worker leaders, policymakers, government leaders and labour market experts to interrogate the central theme: Building Unity of Workers to Advance Decent Work for All.

The final day of proceedings will be marked by two significant addresses that speak directly to the political economy challenges facing South Africa and the strategic role of organised labour in shaping the country’s development trajectory.

Former President Thabo Mbeki will deliver a keynote address reflecting on the National Dialogue, while the Group Chief Executive Officer of Eskom, Dan Marokane, will engage the Labour School on the state of the energy sector, Eskom’s operational and financial recovery efforts, and the implications for workers within the context of South Africa’s just energy transition.
