Joseph Mathunjwa ( born 26-May-1965 ) is the head of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU). Mathunjwa was born in Amathikulu, northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and his first job was as a Laboratory Attendant in 1986 at the Rand Coal where he earned between R300 and R400 a month.
