South Africans will celebrate Worker’s Day on Saturday.

Workers’ Day has been officially recognised and observed since the first democratic elections in 1994. 

The holiday serves both as a celebration of workers’ rights and as a reminder of the critical role that trade unions, the Communist Party and other labour organisations played in the fight against Apartheid.

In this special Worker’s Day podcast, SABC News Digital News producer, Lebo Tshangela speaks to a Fibre Optic Technician who works for a Johannesburg fibre installation company which services the country’s major mobile companies.
