SowetanLive reports that President Jacob Zuma's supporters want ANC leaders to boycott future Cosatu events in retaliation for the federation's decision to ban the president from addressing its meetings.
This tit-for-tat proposal was raised in commissions behind closed doors at the ruling party's national policy conference taking place at Nasrec. The move by Zuma's backers could be seen as an attempt to prevent ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa from addressing Cosatu events, which they see as a platform for his presidential campaign. Cosatu banned Zuma from addressing its events following the federation’s decision that he should step down as president. Zuma was embarrassed during a May Day rally in the Free State where workers booed him, leading to the event being called off.
