The Congress of South African Trade Unions is against Western Cape Premier Helen Zille addressing an international education conference in Cape Town today.

Cosatu says Zille is unsuitable to speak at the conference because of the positions she holds.

Cosatu’s Tony Ehrenreich believes her presence will contaminate the conference with what he refers to as “greed and material obsession”.

Meanwhile Equal Education this afternoon is expected to demonstrate outside the Cape Town International Conversation Centre where International Education Confrerence will be taking place.

Equal Education’s Yoliswa Dwane says they will hand over the memorandum to Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe who will be addressing the delegates asking him to deliver on their demands which includes demands for school infrastructure standards.
