Cosatu demands action against corruption

Lusanda Bill
16 July 2011


Cosatu has demanded that President Jacob Zuma allay fears that the country is fast becoming, as the union federation puts it, “a corruption-ridden banana republic".

Spokesperson Patrick Craven says while Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale are conducting probes, allegations of corruption and the misuse of public funds are piling up.

Cosatu also welcomes Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s recommendation that action needs to be taken against Police Commissioner Bheki Cele and Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde.

This is for their role in the police headquarters lease deals.
