The South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) says it has no confidence in new African National Congress (ANC) leadership.
Saftu’s General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says the working class and the poor majority of South Africans have no reason to celebrate.
Vavi referred to the fact that half of the new ANC Top Six are seen as aligned to new party president Ramaphosa and half to President Jacob Zuma.
“The leadership of the ANC is a mixed masala. It’s a salad and it is going to paralyze the organisation. It will not in a single mind be able to go in a particular direction and it’s made up of people who promise change and those who are defenders of the status quo. It is a reflection of an organisation that is split down the middle and we expect the same result when the NEC is announced later today.”
