Government Departments Bursaries 2025/2026About the NUMSA: For many years MICWU organised and represented workers in the motor industry: components manufacturing, bodybuilding, servicing, and petrol attendants. It started as a union for coloured workers in 1961 when laws forced unions to be divided along racial lines. Its white sister union was part of TUCSA and so it too became a member.

But in 1984 MICWU left TUCSA because of the latter’s racist and reactionary policies. After leaving TUCSA, MICWU joined the IMF (International Metalworkers Federation). At the IMF, MICWU, MAWU and NAAWU became engaged in discussions to prevent the poaching of each other’s membership in the component sector. These discussions led to the emergence of the idea of building one metal union.
