The Democratic Alliance has called
on the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Maite Nkoana
Mashabane to distance herself and the government from Cosatu’s planned
anti-Obama demonstrations.
Cosatu’s international relations
secretary, Bongani Mosuku said they were particularly disappointed by the Obama
administration’s record in continuing the appalling US
DA MP of International Relations and
Cooperation Ian Davidson said government needs to sort itself out.
“Cosatu is part of government and
yet President Obama is a guest of government; so you have one arm of government
is protesting his presence and the other arm welcoming him as a guest.
“I do hope the minister distances
herself” Davidson added.
