COSATU Central Committee
COSATU Central Committee Excerpt – September 2025 “We meet at a time of deep economic and social distress. The unemployment rate remains unacceptably high, with 42.9% of our people without work and youth unemployment at a staggering 72%. This is not just a statistic—it is a national crisis that demands urgent and united action.” — Zingiswa Losi, COSATU President “The federation has made significant strides: from the implementation of the Two-Pot Pension Reform to the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage. But we must remain vigilant. Employers continue to default on pension contributions, and municipalities are failing to pay workers on time. These injustices cannot be tolerated.” “We call on the Alliance—COSATU, the ANC, and the SACP—to close ranks. Fragmentation will only weaken the working class. We must reaffirm our commitment to the National Democratic Revolution and ensure that the voice of labour remains central in shaping South Africa’s future.”
SATAWU Statement on Taxi Industry Violence and Commuter Safety
The violence and disruption in the taxi industry have reached a crisis point. Commuters are stranded, workers are penalized, and the poorest are paying the highest price. SATAWU calls for urgent intervention, protection for bus drivers, and a peaceful resolution that puts public safety first.
