Cosatu’s national conference is scheduled for September 26-29
Cosatu has warned that factions, corruption and criminality pose a threat to continued worker support for the ANC, and if the party does not urgently address this, it could lose the 2024 general elections.
Chief justice Raymond Zondo, who chaired the state capture commission, said the ANC, parliament and government failed to take action to halt state capture, while President Cyril Ramaphosa has previously said the ANC was “accused number one” in corruption. Several state security organs are investigating claims of a cover-up after a large sum of foreign exchange was stolen from his farmhouse in Limpopo. His political opponents within and outside the ANC are clamouring for him to step aside to facilitate a thorough investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, data released by Stats SA on Tuesday showed that second-quarter GDP decreased by 0.7% — after the first quarter’s growth of 1.9% — with the devastating floods in KwaZulu-Natal and load-shedding contributing to the decline.
