The South African Clothing and Textile Workers Union has filed a notice with NEDLAC against the City of Cape Town, its Executive Mayor and its Mayoral committee.

This follows the City of Cape Town’s unilateral decision to lease out the Good Hope Centre, despite objections from SACTWU and other community organisations in Cape Town.

SAWCTU’s Fachmy Abrahams explained that SAWCTU objected as the city’s decision meant that the union was unable to host it’s Spring Queen fashion event at the good hope centre.

SAWCTU does not accept the disrespectful manner in which one their premier “Save Jobs” popularising events has been summarily dismissed by the city, Abrahams concluded.
