numsaeNCA reports that the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) has weighed in on last week’s Cabinet reshuffle, which it believes is the result of a clash between white and black capitalist classes.  

The union said greedy capitalists were battling each other for control over the government and its budget and it expected the crisis to worsen in coming months.  The union also denounced the country's recent credit downgrade, saying ratings agencies should not be taken seriously.  Numsa has listed a national living wage among a host of demands and has warned of potential mass action in the near future.
