Cosatu’s May Day celebrations devolved into chaos, proceedings halted

The African National Congress (ANC) president Cyril Ramaphosa has abandoned Cosatu’s May Day celebrations at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, outside Rustenburg, in the North West.

Cosatu’s main May Day celebrations have descended into chaos after a scuffle broke out at the Stadium.

Hundreds of National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) affiliated Sibanye workers have been on strike for almost two months, demanding a R1000 salary increase.  The employer is only offering R800. Striking Sibanye Stillwater mineworkers were demanding that Ramaphosa address their issues.

Proceedings have been disrupted.

President Ramaphosa had to address them and assured to raise their concerns.
