The Congress of South African Trade Union in a statement says it is deeply troubled by reports that imply that the incidents in Tshwane are sponsored by some leaders of the movement in collusion with tenderpreneurs. 

COSATU national spokesperson Sizwe Pamla says the federation calls for a thotough investigation of these allegations and for the immediate arrest of the plotters and perpetrators if they are discovered. Pamla explains……


“There are allegations in what we see happening in Tshwane,The political violence and vandalism that is taking place there is sponsored.

We don’t take these reports lightly because we think that any form of anarchy that is going to be sponsored either by business people or by political individuals needs to be thouroghly eradicated from within the movement itself but also in our political environment. 

So as COSATU are calling for an investigation of this allegations and we want to discover the perpetrators to be dealt with because we cannot have a political system in the country where people can sponsor this kind of anarchy and vandalism”
