Cosatu President Zingiswa Losi bas expressed the federation’s full support for ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa amid alleged internal dissent. Cosatu President Zingiswa Losi has lashed out at those allegedly plotting to remove ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa, saying the federation will not “elevate small minds” behind anonymous campaigns ahead of the party’s upcoming National General Council. She urged those who are eyeing the position to do so through the right channels rather than hiding behind anonymous campaigns.
Losi spoke on Saturday on the sidelines of Cosatu’s 40th anniversary celebration in Dobsonville, Soweto, where she was joined by Ramaphosa and SACP general secretary Solly Mapaila. “We did not issue a statement because we did not want to elevate faceless investors,” she said, prompting a visible smile from Ramaphosa beside her. “There’s no organisation that will not experience these things when approaching a congress.
When people are sure of what they are saying, then they must show their faces.” “We are not going to elevate small minds and make them big. We have a leadership of the ANC elected at its conference at Nasrec – seven of them. We are in alliance with the ANC, led by President Ramaphosa, and with the SACP, led by comrade Solly Mapaila.”
