NATIONAL NEWS - The African National Congress (ANC) says unions belonging to the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) are undermining the party’s control over its own internal issues.
The ruling party has hit out at unions for making pronouncements about the party’s leadership elections.
The ANC has condemned unions who've called for Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to take over the leadership of the ANC at next year's party leadership conference.
Last month, Cosatu member Nehawu also called for President Jacob Zuma to resign.
At the same time, the Communications Workers Union says it will use Cosatu’s next central committee meeting to table its call for Zuma to resign.
The CWU’s Aubrey Tshabalala says the president has put the country in crisis, limping from one scandal to the next.
“From the time a swimming pool was called a fire pool right up to Marikana, the chaos in Parliament and, of course, the Public Protector’s state capture report.”
