BusinessLive writes that the ANC-led tripartite alliance is no closer to reaching a solution to its many problems after labour federation Cosatu on Monday postponed a bilateral meeting with the party at the eleventh hour.
ANC leaders met on Sunday in preparation for the meeting with its labour partner, only to be told the meeting scheduled for Monday could not go ahead due to the unavailability of Cosatu general secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali. Cosatu said it had requested another date for the meeting with the ANC after realising it could not go ahead without the full complement of its leadership. “Media reports that the federation boycotted or walked out of the meeting are untrue," said Cosatu spokesman Sizwe Pamla. But, the ANC said that it did not know why the federation failed to inform it of the decision timeously. Spokesman Zizi Kodwa indicated the intention of the meeting had been to discuss issues expressed by Cosatu against the ANC, such as its recent decision to ban President Jacob Zuma from addressing its meetings. The federation has called on Zuma to step down amid scandals over his role in the capture of the state, saying it has no faith in his leadership.
