Bio on Jay Naidoo
Political career
Naidoo became active in the South African Students’ Organisation (SASO) that was banned in 1977 just after its leader Steve Biko was murdered in police detention.[4] He then became a community-based organizer working with grassroots civic structures. He joined the Federation of South African Trade Unions as a volunteer in 1979. Naidoo was later appointed secretary general of the Sweet, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (SFAWU). In this capacity, he led the country’s largest ever nationwide strike with around 3.5 million participants in 1991, paralyzing factories and businesses across South Africa and leaving people without the basic services normally provided by black employees.[5]

In 1995, Naidoo served on the selection panel appointed by President Mandela to interview and shortlist candidates for South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
