The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) has today (15 October 2008) announced protest action against Swaziland.
Cosatu’s international department spokesperson Bongani Masuku said the action was to protest against the lack of democracy in Swaziland, which was still ruled by a ‘kleptocratic absolute monarch’.
It would entail a one week boycott, a go-slow and the non-handling of goods to Swaziland.
‘The protest is also against specific grievances including the outrageous banning of the Southern African Social Forum by the royal-puppet appointee Swazi government this week’.
Masuku said the protest week would commence on October 27 and would continue until November 1.
