I SUPPORT YOU 100%. COSATU SHOULD UNITE WITH ALL THE OTHER TRADE UNIONS AND PUT THEIR PRIDE ASIDE FOR THE SAKE OF THE CONTINENT.
DIVISION AMONG THE MDC IS WHAT CAUSED MUGABE TO CLAIM A SO CALLED FLATULENT VICTORY. BUT IF ALL STAND TOGETHER AND STOP THE INFIGHTING, UNCLE BOB'S BACK WILL BE BROKEN ONCE AND FOR ALL. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE BUSYING THEMSELVES TO TRANSFER ALL ASSETS IN FROM ZIMBABWE INTO SAFE HAVENS OVERSEAS? THEY KNOW THEIR TIME IS UP AND THEIR TIME HAS COME TO EXIT...THEY ARE JUST PROLONGING THE INEVITABLE...THEY DONT EVEN HAVE PAPER AND SOFTWARE TO PRINT THEIR NEW 1/2 MILLION ZIM DOLLAR BILL.
NOW IF THE INFIGHTING IN ZANU-PF INTENSIFIES THAT IS A GOOD SIGN FOR MORGAN TO CONSOLIDATE POWER...BUT UNCLE BOB AND HIS TUGS ARE BUSY TRANSFERRING MONEY OVERSEAS...LET THEM CONTINUE ...ALL ASSETS WILL BE FROZEN AND THEY WILL FACE THE WRATH OF THE WORLD
I WONDER IF THEY EVEN HAVE TOILET PAPER TO WIPE THEIR BEHIND? LET THEM GO FOR OLD-FASHIONED BANANA LEAVES...AND DO GOOD HANDWASHING. OH GOD...COME TO ZIM'S AID..THOSE PEOPLE SUFFERED ENOUGH
Ye, all wll said except that COSATU is one of the three national centres in South Africa. Why not build a coalition with the other two trade union federations, NACTU and FEDUSA in order to ensure maximum impact! Division amongst trade unions in South Africa has enabled maverick Mugabe to survive and continue the massacre of its innocent citizens thirst for freedom, justice and a government reflecting the will of the majority.
Come on COSATU comrades! You can stop Mugabe from visiting your country should you be able to work hand in hand with NACTU and FEDUSA and ask technicians at all the country's airports to deny Mugabe's plane technical facilities in the South African space.
You can as well, together, pressurize the Central bank to freeze all bank accounts in South Africa of Mugabe and cronies.
Five million Zimbabwe refugees in South Africa already! and yet you are not expressing any displeasure to Mbeki who recently questioned as to whether there was any crisis in Zimbabwe!
Please get a unity of action together with the other two trade union federations and ensure that your joint actions bite maverick Mugabe where it hurts most.
