Cosatu leaders boo ANC's Lekganyane off podium
COSATU leaders in Limpopo booed and prevented ANC provincial secretary Soviet Lekganyane, pictured, from addressing them yesterday.
More than 2000 labour federation leaders were attending a shop steward council meeting in Polokwane in preparation of their national strike against labour brokers.
Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini could not stop his members from booing.
Cosatu in Limpopo has marched twice to the provincial government offices, where Lekganyane served as local government MEC before being appointed to his current position in the ANC, complaining about corruption.
Premier Cassel Mathale, who has a close relationship with Lekganyane, has so far not responded to their concerns.
Lekganyane said the incident was an indication that the ANC needed to improve relations with its alliance partners.
Dlamini said Lekganyane's booing was a reflection of the anger of the people with the ANC leadership in the province which has gained an image as being corrupt.

But dlamini is not solving problems by saying that! I see even old/elders have become ill-deciplined. Will they be deciplined? i doubt

@PizozoCosatu members are also ANC members, so this has nothing to do with Cosatu, but all to do with MALEMA and ZUMA factions. its a sign that anyone friend to malema will suffer the consequences of the fallen brother.
