By Nomava Nobumba

Protesting Cosatu members threatened to break through a barrier at Sun City today when they were not allowed entry to the premises.

Media report that around a thousand trade union federation members marched to protest against an alleged racial insult in which former President Nelson Mandela was insulted.

Cosatu’s Solly Phetoe says they want Sun City to terminate its contract with Falcon, the security company whose employee allegedly played a CD referring to Mandela by the k-word.

“Those who are implicated in insulting our leader in that racist attitude must remain behind bars,” concludes Phetoe.
