The Citizen reports that the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has accused ANC general-secretary Gwede Mantashe of being arrogant. The accusation come in the context of a strike by CWU members employed at Telkom.
On Tuesday, CWU members marched to Luthuli House, the ANC headquarters in Johannesburg, to meet the leadership. But according to CWU president Clyde Mervin, instead of meeting the union, Mantashe held a media briefing. “What did he do after that briefing? He ran away,” Mervin said. The CWU is hoping to meet with the ANC leadership again on Friday.
