News24 reports that, while President Jacob Zuma on Wednesday failed to mention the national crisis over tertiary education fees at the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) Congress, Cosatu leader Sidumo Dlamini was more forthcoming on the matter.  

Addressing over 1,200 delegates in Durban, Dlamini said the crisis had to be mentioned.  He indicated that the union federation supported the protests, but condemned violence and damage to property.  Dlamini added that Cosatu believed the government was willing to help resolve the education crisis and said there were interventions from government which Cosatu supported.
