He added only a strong and united ANC, Cosatu and South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) could lead South Africa into the future.
South African men should afford women the honour they deserved, which included zipping up their pants, president Cyril Ramaphosa said on Wednesday.
He said members of the tripartite alliance were in a position to push for equal pay, equal training and promotions for women. “We will also work hard to end the harassment of women in the workplace, the home and communities,” said Ramaphosa. “Only a united ANC, Cosatu and Sanco can lead and give people what they demand. Your presence here shows the strength of Cosatu.”
