The Citizen reports that at the 17th World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) congress on Wednesday, President Jacob Zuma cited the dangers of the capitalist system in his speech.  

He called on workers to continue fighting the system, saying:  “No capitalist society will say to the workers ‘we have heard you, take it and create what you want’.”  He stated that capitalism was a system in crisis.  Workers thus faced an ongoing struggle globally to respond to this.
