Four suspended Saftu national office bearers have been given the green light to contest elections at the national congress of the federation convened in Bokburg, Ekurhuleni.
This after a five-hour stalemate at the heated congress where Numsa threatened to leave the gathering if the four were not allowed to stand.The four, who include Saftu president Mac Chavalala, were suspended in March for attempting to suspend general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi.
The result, however, threw a spanner in the works as the triumphant group insisted the suspended officials should not be allowed to stand for election for the new term. The decision was announced at a congress plenary by Democratised Transport Logistics and Allied Workers' Union general secretary Vusi Ntshangase.
