Cosatu has announced that it supports protests against the visit to South Africa by former British prime minister Tony Blair.

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu caused a stir yesterday by withdrawing from a leadership summit in Johannesburg because of Blair’s attendance.

Lungile Mpharu reports that Cosatu agrees that Blair should not be welcomed in the country.

The British High Commission's Gary Benham said they were also not involved in Blair's visit.
