COSATU asks law enforcement to fast-track criminal investigations into politicians

JOHANNESBURG - Union federation Congress of South African Trade Unions has called on law enforcement to fast-track criminal investigations as politicians facing serious allegations find themselves in a bind ahead of the general elections.

While none of them have been formally charged, the ANC is facing harsh criticism for fielding candidates accused of rot. “There will always be contradictions. In a normal society, you would not even have a situation that if you were charged you would need to step aside. But I think the ANC was correct and I think we need to support it strongly as COSATU that given the levels of state capture corruption in the body politic, we need to go and be much more harsh and much more extreme.”
