South Africa: Safpu On the Withdrawal of a Complaint Against Vavi

press release

We note and welcome the withdrawal of the complaint of sexual harassment against the General Secretary of COSATU comrade Zwelinzima Vavi. To be fair, we always had confidence that comrade Vavi is not capable of the gross violation he was accused of but we wanted the process to continue so that it exonerates him.

We remain firm as SAFPU that women's rights must be respected. We are of the view that since this is a patriarchal society women continue to bear the scars of this society that tramples on women's rights and that their issues must never be trivialized.
