Cosatu has called for a full investigation into the A400M military transport plane deal, which will reportedly cost the taxpayer an extra R30 billion.
Cosatu spokesperson, Patrick Craven said the trade union federation was outraged at what he called another arms deal scandal which could cost South African’s R47 billion.
Craven said while Airbus Military had called the figures which Armscor CEO Sipho Thomo reported to Parliament wildly exaggerated the cost was still a vast amount.
He said Cosatu demands a full inquiry into every aspect of the deal and all those responsible for it.
