Cosatu President Losi calls for unity amid alliance divisions

COSATU President Zingiswa Losi has urged unity within the labour federation, warning that internal divisions could weaken the movement. Addressing the reconvened 15th National Congress at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, Losi called for the interests of the working class to take precedence over individual and factional ambitions.

She warned that the alliance remains the most effective and progressive political vehicle for advancing working-class struggles, and urged her comrades not to allow differences to distract or divide them. Losi's remarks come as the tripartite alliance faces growing divisions, with the South African Communist Party (SACP) deciding to run in the November 4th local government elections independently.
