The Democratic Alliance has called on the
Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Maite Nkoana Mashabane to
distance herself and the government from Cosatu’s planned anti-Obama
demonstrations.
Cosatu’s international relations secretary,
Bongani Masuku said they were particularly disappointed by the Obama
administration’s record in continuing the appalling US
DA MP of International Relations and Cooperation
Ian Davidson said Obama is on a governmental visit and that should be respected
not be welcomed with protests that are aimed at scoring political points.
Davidson also said government really needs
to sort out itself and hopefully the Minister and her Department will distance
from all this.
Ministry Spokesperson Clayson Monyela could
not comment on the issue.
Meanwhile the Congress of South African
Trade Unions has called upon all its members to protest against Obama coming to
South Africa
