‘Stop cartoonish ideas’ – Cosatu to government on Tottenham Hotspur R1bn saga
President Cyril Ramaphosa needs to take into account nonsensical and offensive decisions taken by ministers ahead of the expected Cabinet reshuffle.
Cosatu said it was concerned by the number of"wrong-headed and cartoonish ideas" produced by government departments, which were bizarrely even championed by their ministers, on how to fix this ailing sector of the economy.Among these decisions, Cosatu said, was the department of sport, arts and culture's proposed"ludicrous and absurd plan" to blow about R22 million on a 100-metre flag monument.
The federation mentioned that government wanting to sponsor a rich European soccer team has imposed a vicious wage freeze on nurses, doctors, teachers, police officers and other hardworking public servants since 2020. He said the country could not carry on with business as usual because that would not yield the desired results.
Khumalo stated the deal was about accessing viewership markets in the UK that would be keen on travelling to South Africa and that it was not about football.
