It's going to be difficult to campaign for ANC – Cosatu president
25 January 2016
The Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) says it will be difficult to campaign for the ANC in the upcoming local government elections while the new tax laws are still in place.
Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini said on Monday that a solution was needed in order for the trade union federation to move forward.
"We have said that it is going to be difficult to campaign while this issue is hanging on our shoulders," Dlamini told reporters in Irene, where the ANC was holding a national executive committee (NEC) lekgotla. "We are saying this must be resolved in order for us to campaign for a decisive victory for the ANC."
Dlamini, who is also an NEC member, urged workers not to panic and withdraw their savings before the law kicked in.
