Cosatu has thrown its weight behind striking workers at SARS
Convening for the first time since ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa’s failure to address workers on May Day at the federation’s celebration of workers, Cosatu’s Central Executive Committee says it intends on convening an urgent meeting with its alliance partners, to discuss issues affecting workers. The labour federation says the incident is concerning and its General-Secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali regards it as a sign of chronic weaknesses in the ANC-led government.
“People on the ground are losing confidence in the capacity of the ANC, to drive transformation. Another challenge is the deliberate hollowing out of the concept of developmental state by the ANC government. On one hand there’s here’s talk of a move in a different direction of a developmental state. The reality is that South Africa has been taken over by private interests.”
