Nurses belonging to DENOSA joined thousands of other workers across different sectors in commemorating International Workers Day on 1 May. Various commemorations were held countrywide. The national celebration was held in Bloemfontein where thousands of workers took on a 4 Kilometer march to delivery memorandums to various employers.
Provincial celebrations were also staged. DENOSA national office bearers (NOBs) were deployed to represent COSATU in all celebrations countrywide.
