EWN reports that union federation Cosatu says it will be holding a central executive committee (CEC) meeting on Monday to discuss, among many issues, the SA Communist Party’s (SACP’s) call for the resignation of President Jacob Zuma.
As a tripartite alliance member Cosatu says it would be unfair to pre-empt the outcome of the meeting. The SACP issued a statement on Friday saying the reckless actions of the president have once more plunged the ANC led-movement, democratic institutions and the country in general into deep crisis. Cosatu's Sizwe Pamla said: “It’s Cosatu’s special CEC on Monday, so it would be unfair of me to undercut or pre-empt what the CEC is likely to say. All of these issues, including what the party (SACP) has said today (Friday) and the reshuffle will be on the agenda."
