Cosatu Blames Zille For Farm Protest Deaths, Seeks Motion Of No Confidence

Cosatu’s provincial secretary in the Western Cape, Tony Ehrenreich, said today that the ANC and opposition parties should table a motion of no confidence in Helen Zille. He blames her for the deaths of two people during the recent farm protests in De Doorns and other parts of the Western Cape.

According to Ehrenreich, Zille did not call farmers and workers together when she found about there were to be strikes. He argues that she should have discussed with all parties all the possible risks and threats of such demonstrations. Ehrenreich says this was a “dereliction of duty” which had led to the deaths, financial losses, and failing investor confidence in the agricultural sector. Helen Zille is also accused of taking sides during the actual labour dispute.

The basis for the motion of no confidence is that the premier had by her own admission known about upcoming protest in the agricultural sector in the Western Cape.

Zille responded by saying the Democratic Alliance would welcome a debate on Cosatu’s proposal.

That’s fine, Cosatu must get its alliance partner in the Western Cape provincial parliament, the ANC, to propose the motion. We will debate it at the first opportunity.

Then the DA must file a motion of no confidence for the ANC regarding the Marikana incident in which 47 people died.

Um, Cosatu, was it not you that agreed to the ridiculously low minimum daily wage in the first place? You create a problem, then when the public reacts to that problem, you blame the reaction on your political and intellectual superiors. You retarded tosspots.

Hey tony

How far up the ANC arses are you? If
you think zille causing the death of 2
(two?) farmworkers makes her incompetent what about the ANC and their lack of service delivery since 1994?

Instead of trying to shoot down the only party that actually does their job, why don’t you focus on sorting out the illegal strikes that are happening. Isn’t that your job?

U make me sick. do something useful or fuck off
