News24 reports that lobby group Save SA said after the announcement of President Jacob Zuma’s Cabinet reshuffle that it intended to mount a march in Pretoria on Friday. Zwelinzima Vavi, under his new labour federation, the South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU), will also be marching to Treasury on Friday.
Vavi said SAFTU was outraged at Zuma's Cabinet reshuffle and appealed to all South Africans to flood the streets of Pretoria and symbolically occupy the Treasury in the strongest possible protest. “The thieves and looters have been given a green light to continue and increase their manipulation of government and SOE contracts to line their pockets for as long as we allow them to get away with it,” the federation said in a statement on Friday. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) said it would take time to reflect on the announcement and study the implications of the reshuffle.
