News24 reports that Cosatu in the Moses Kotane region in North West has threatened to make 2017 a difficult year for Sun International’s (SI’s) Sun City holiday resort.  

The labour federation has accusing the resort of undermining black lives after allegations surfaced that food meant for the staff canteen was stored in a “condemned” basement where pipes were apparently leaking sewage.  Cosatu said it was mobilising its alliance partners, namely the ANC, the SA Communist Party (SACP) and the SA National Civic Organisation (Sanco), to embark on mass action against the resort.  SI has denied the claims of a sewage leak and that food was contaminated, saying staff submitted deliberately misleading photographs to bolster their allegations.
