Cosatu calls one-day general strike over corruption concerns and job losses

Revolutionary South African union federation Cosatu has called a one-day general strike against corruption, state capure and job losses.

Following this week’s three-day central executive committee meeting, the ANC-allied federation yesterday announced the political walkout for September 27.

Cosatu joined the South African Communist Party (SACP) in calling for President Jacob Zuma to quit over his close ties with the shadowy Gupta business family.
