Public service workers have protested outside Parliament and in other centres in the country today.

Meanwhile, Cosatu has warned that its alliance with the African National Congress is dysfunctional.

The trade union federation’s general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi briefed the media in Johannesburg, following Cosatu's central executive committee meeting.

Vavi says the surfacing of a new tendency is cripling both the tri-partite alliance and government.

He outlines the tendency as focusing on taking over the ANC and using access to the State for a selfish accumulation agenda.
