South African Labour Minister, Nelisima Mildred Oliphant, addressed the WFTU Congress- Carried the House with her pro-worker speech.

Today, the South African Labour Minister, Nelisima Mildred Oliphant, addressed the ongoing WFTU Congress, being held at Durban. In her brief speech, she exposed how the capitalists are adopting newer methods to exploit the working class and to increase their profits. She also emphasised the working class to choose the right leadership and to struggle unitedly against the exploitation of the capitalist class. It was altogether a different experience to hear such a speech from a person holding a high position in the South African government. It made the delegates to think that it is necessary to have persons in the government, who will raise their voice in support of the working class.
