Cosatu to demonstrate against Mugabe government

Cosatu will demonstration at the Beit Bridge border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) is expected to hold demonstrations at the Beit Bridge border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe in protest against President Robert Mugabe's government.

Union spokesperson Jan Tsiane says the demonstration and border blockading is part of showing solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe.

Cosatu wants the African Union (AU), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the international community to condemn the human rights violations in Zimbabwe, the illegitimate presidential run-off election and the censorship of the media.
