The South African Municipal Workers Union in the Eastern Cape has described the expulsion of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa from the Congress of South African Trade Union as an embarrassment.

Samwu Provincial Secretary Siphiwo Ndunyana said the only solution to salvage this federation is to go for a Special National Congress. 

Numsa was on Saturday expelled from Cosatu at a special central executive committee.

“The issue that were raised by Numsa are the same issue we have also been raising. The defense of Cosatu against those who want to follow a neo-liberal attender, not to be vocal on issues that affecting workers, in particular the radical economic transformation

These are not personal issues, these are the issues about the soul and heart of the federation, in particular the political and ideological direction Numsa,” Ndunyana added.
