The Congress of South African Trade Union
in the Western Cape said it is
opposing the renaming of Table Boulevard after FW De Klerk.
Cosatu’s Tony Ehrenreich said De Klerk was
an architect of apartheid and responsible for implementing a system that
brutally oppressed the majority.
Meanwhile in a statement the City of Cape Town said this was an
opportunity for the City to recognise the pivotal role played by former president
FW de Klerk in the transition to a new dispensation in South Africa .
Ehrenreich says FW de Klerk showed himself
as someone who was only in the negotiations to defend the interest of the big
business and generation advantage of the white people.
He continued by saying Cosatu still sees
the FW de Klerk foundation taking forward the ambition of inequalities and
injustice in South Africa.
