ANA reports that the general secretary of the Workers Association Union (WAU), Elifas Ngoepe, insisted on Tuesday that the union was formed to advance the interests of the workers, not to dilute support for other unions.
“I am not aware of WAU being a bogus union, nor that it was formed with an intention to bring down any other formation. Ours was based on an ideal to advance the working class interests,” he said.
