Productivity Symposium in Pretoria, South Africa.

Workers federation TUCOSWA also participated with other LAB members.

Today’s symposium brought together voices from across the social partners and beyond, with participation reaching across the continent and internationally. From Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Eswatini, Mauritius to Switzerland.

The diversity of voices and experiences in the room enriched the conversations, opened new perspectives and reminded us of the power of coming together to exchange ideas and strengthen social dialogue.

As we close the day, we celebrate the connections made, the insights shared and the collective commitment to shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future of work.

A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, participants and partners for making today’s symposium a memorable and impactful one.

Join us tomorrow for the 2026 NEDLAC Summit.
