Cosatu has joined African National Congress (ANC) chief whip Jackson Mthembu and defended ANC presidential hopeful Cyril Ramaphosa over allegations of extra marital affairs. The labour federation said similar tactics were used in the run-up to the 2007 ANC elective conference that saw Jacob Zuma defeat then-president Thabo Mbeki.
