Cosatu protesters heckle City of Cape Town official, demand that mayor address them | News24

A choir of union members chanted"mayor", while insisting that the City's number one citizen come and address them.De Bruyn said Cosatu was not budging on handing over the memorandum to the mayor, and insisted that they would be back in 14 days to present their demands to the mayor himself.Hundreds of union members came out in support of the protest as they moved on from the Civic Centre to the Western Cape legislature in Wale Street, before heading to Parliament.

"We completely agree with the grievance against the police and the fuel increases. But the City is not the correct channel of government to address these matters. Safety is among our top priorities," he said, adding that Hill-Lewis was hard at work making communities safer. "The mayor sent me as the chief of staff to accept the memorandum instead," Styan added. "We are all working on making our country and this city safer. Cosatu’s march is misdirected.
