NATIONAL NEWS - Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) says it’s decided to embark on a nationwide strike this month because the government is moving at a slow pace in acting against corruption and protecting workers.
The trade union federation has criticised the African National Congress (ANC) and party leaders for state capture and corruption allegations as well the ties with the Guptas.
It’s also joined calls for President Jacob Zuma to step down, endorsing Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Cosatu General Secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali says the strike will affect all sectors.
