Cosatu march turns rowdy as Tshwane officials try to accept memorandum

Cosatu marched to Tshwane house on Friday to demand that dismissed workers be reinstated.The march turned sour after some in the crowd stormed the City manager's vehicle.

Around 1 000 Cosatu and affiliate union members marched to both the National Treasury and Tshwane House on Friday. Once the marchers arrived at Tshwane House, they sought to hand over a memorandum to the mayor of Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, and demanded that employees who were dismissed because of the recent strike be reinstated.Brink, however, did not come out to accept the memorandum.

Workers in South Africa demand that all signed collective bargaining agreements with employers must be fully implemented such as by government, parastatals and private employers"But, by 13:20, the march still had not arrived at Tshwane House, and the mayor had to leave to attend to another prearranged engagement," said the mayor's spokesperson, Sipho Stuurman.
