COSATU warns of fake emails

The Congress of South African Trade Unions hope to establish who is behind fake emails that have been sent out, instructing workers in the Western Cape to go on strike next Wednesday and threatening violence against those who do not.

COSATU Spokesperson Patrick Craven says COSATU would like to concern that the rolling mass action campaign which began in the Western Cape and Kwazulu Natal and spread yesterday to Mpumalanga, Free Sate, Northern Cape and will resume in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Limpopo and North West on the 23 July 2008. There will be nation action on the 6 September2008.

Craven also says “we want to stress that these demonstrations have been and will continue to be peaceful, disciplined and organised.”

“A malicious email which is being circulated warning people not to go near to city centres on the day that action is taking place has no basis what so ever”

He adds that COSATU encourages people to come along and express their views on the crisis we as a nation find ourselves in, to do so without any fear that their safety will be jeopardised.
