THE hostility displayed by Cosatu members during a DA march in the Johannesburg city centre yesterday was justified, the trade federation said.

"DA policies... will create no new jobs... and (will) lead to the impoverishment and enslavement of workers and (an) economic meltdown for South Africa," spokesman Patrick Craven said in a statement.

"That is why workers are so hostile towards (DA leader) Helen Zille's party and want to express their justified anger."
