ANC alliance partners will get to air views on North West report before it goes to NEC - COSATU
23 May 2018
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) says President Cyril Ramaphosa has committed to allowing the ANC's alliance partners a chance to air their views on an inter-ministerial report into the state of the North West province before it is presented to the ANC's national executive committee meeting this weekend.
The comments were made by the federation's general secretary, Bheki Ntshalintshali, on the side-lines of its central executive committee meeting in Braamfontein on Tuesday.
This was shortly after Ramaphosa addressed the central executive committee (CEC), describing the meeting as "positive".
The president of the ANC is attempting to quell tensions between the political party and its alliance partners - COSATU, the SACP and civic organisation Sanco - after relations hit an all-time low, with the three organisations calling for the ANC to recall former president Jacob Zuma as head of state.
