COSATU
backs ZCTU on SADC deal
The
Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU)
November 11, 2008
The Congress
of South African Trade Unions fully supports the statement
by the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) on the outcome of the extraordinary
summit of the SADC Heads of State and Government.
The SADC leaders have
failed dismally to find a settlement that reflects the democratic
will of the people of Zimbabwe as reflected in the results of the
29 March elections. They are trying to maintain a defeated dictator
in power in defiance of the popular will. It is an 'elite deal'
that would never have worked. COSATU reaffirms its support for the
creation of a transitional administration whose only function will
be to organize new, genuinely free and fair elections.
COSATU extends its support
to the ZCTU and the people of Zimbabwe and stands ready to act in
solidarity with their struggle for democracy and human rights.
