SADTU warns Vavi and his cronies to stop using SADTU and the Tripartite Alliance to swindle people
We are witnessing the icons of political opportunism who think our members are comfortable with their misleading stunts using SADTU’s name and logos to profile themselves. Zwelinzima Vavi and his cronies again launched a tirade against the Tripartite Alliance at their so-called provincial shop-stewards council in East London on Saturday.
According to the Daily Dispatch of the 27th of April 2015, Vavi used this platform to blame the SACP for the divisions in the Federation and accused the Party of moving from being the vanguard of the working class to that of Government (see here). In the same meeting, expelled SADTU President Ntola warned of hard times under the ANC rule and told the audience to be prepared to die because there was no complete freedom under the ANC.
These utterances show utter contempt and complete disregard for the people these “icons” purport to lead as they think they can easily pull wool over their eyes with such cheap rhetoric.
