numsaTMG Digital reports that the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) on Friday slammed labour federation Cosatu’s decision to endorse Cyril Ramaphosa to replace Jacob Zuma as president of the ANC in 2017.  

"An ANC government led by Cyril Ramaphosa will be no better than the one led by Jacob Zuma‚" Numsa stated.  General secretary Irvin Jim said the union was "disgusted" by Cosatu’s decision to endorse Ramaphosa to take over as leader of the ANC and that they would be campaigning and lobbying to influence ANC structures to support their call.  Jim added thus:  "Numsa has already put on record its view that Cyril Ramaphosa is an enemy of the working class.”
