The Citizen reports that glaring contradictions have emerged within the leadership of Cosatu following its call last week for President Jacob Zuma to step down from office. President S’dumo Dlamini has since expressed the labour federation’s unwavering support for Zuma.
Speaking in Kliptown, Soweto, during celebrations for Zuma’s 75th birthday on Wednesday evening, Dlamini said workers affiliated to Cosatu wished him the best and were firmly behind his leadership. “We wish you that in these hard‚ trying times‚ as a father‚ a husband and leader‚ remain strong. As you are my leader‚ and we tackle these issues‚ I need you to be strong,” Dlamini stated. Last Tuesday, Cosatu called for Zuma to resign after a meeting of its central executive committee decided that the federation no longer believed in his leadership abilities following his controversial Cabinet reshuffle.
