A legal opinion obtained by Cosatu has cleared Mike Shingange to stand for election at the 15th National Congress following a dispute over his status. He was suspended on Friday by his union Nehawu.
Some affiliated unions, including the NUM refused to hand over their lists of delegates demanding clarity on the status of the Cosatu first deputy president. The congress has not moved, they are now on an extended lunch #COSATUCongress #SABCNews

Labour federation Cosatu yesterday laid the blame for the crumbling state of local government squarely at the feet of its ally, the ANC, accusing it of presiding over decay and corruption in municipalities it governs. In what could be a shift in the political landscape, the federation said it had grown disillusioned with the ANC’s track record in governing most local authorities since the attainment of majority rule in 1994. https://t.co/OdoUZisvb2

NUM Women Structure: Menstruation doesn't make women less capable of working, especially in the mining industry. There is no need for women to be ashamed of their period pains #MarxismPeriodPains
