Sekunjalo Group has criticised SACTWU general secretary Andre Kriel, saying his recent comments are “misleading and irresponsible.” In a statement, Sekunjalo CEO Lucien Jacobs argues that Kriel does not provide the full factual background regarding the relationship between the group and the union. Jacobs also contends that Kriel fails to acknowledge or outline financial benefits that Sekunjalo says have flowed directly to SACTWU through that relationship.
The dispute centres on what Sekunjalo describes as an incomplete public account of events and benefits, with Sekunjalo maintaining that its position and the union’s interests should be presented with more complete context. The statement does not provide further details in the information available here about the specific claims made by Kriel, the time period involved, or the exact nature or amount of the financial benefits Sekunjalo refers to. Overall, the reporting reflects a public exchange in which Sekunjalo challenges the accuracy of Kriel’s statements and questions whether he has fairly represented the underlying facts.
