Cosatu says it will not join ANC Youth League marches

The Congress of South African Trade Unions says it has decided not to participate in the ANC Youth League marches in Johannesburg and Pretoria as they would rather take part in an ongoing three-day Young Communist League summit.

The marches are due to take place today and on Friday.

Gauteng police say every effort will be made to minimise disruptions.

The League is calling for the nationalisation of mines and the redistribution of wealth.

They will march to the Chamber of Mines, as well as the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, before making their way to the Union Buildings.

Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini says they are happy that young people are taking the initiative.
