EWN reports that the SA Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) has served its general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi with a letter of intention to place him on precautionary suspension.
Vavi has until close of business on Thursday to give reasons why he should not be suspended pending an investigation into various alleged transgressions, including breach of the union’s administration and finance policy. Vavi confirmed that he was aware of the letter and said he was currently formulating a response. In the letter, Saftu’s president, Mac Chavalala, indicated that at a meeting on Tuesday, the union’s national office bearers had noted with great concern a number of transgressions on Vavi’s part which were tantamount to acts of misconduct and misbehaviour. Chavalala said that these warranted an investigation and possible disciplinary action. The letter states that the probe will, among other matters, be into alleged violations of Saftu’s constitution and undermining constitutional and structural decisions and resolutions.
