TimesLive reports that while President Jacob Zuma was addressing delegates at the 17th World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) Congress in Durban on Wednesday, striking University of Zululand (UniZulu) workers tried to bulldoze their way into the venue.
Frustrated by Tuesday's court interdict preventing them from protesting on campus, about 90 workers belonging to Nehawu took their fight to the international stage. However, a swift negotiation between security personnel and Cosatu averted a potentially embarrassing situation. The workers have been on strike since 15 August demanding wage increases, among other demands.
