The African National Congress ANC held its much-anticipated bilateral with Cosatu on Monday. The one-day meeting was attended by some of the partys top officials, including President Cyril Ramaphosa and Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula, and Cosatu President, Zingiswa Losi, and her General Secretary, Solly Phetoe.
The two alliance partners discussed, among others, the ANC Economic Action Plan as well as the state of the alliance and the National Democratic Revolution and the preparations for the 2026 local elections.
ANC Spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says, "We are here at Cosatu House, both the substance and symbolism of renewed efforts at strengthening the revolutionary alliance that we have had over many decades of struggle- Some of the items that the ANC is going to be presenting would be the Economic Action Plan adopted by the NEC of the ANC and seeking to get feedback, and seeking to get a sense from the federation about how they feel, and whether that does address the concerns of the workers and the poor and of the improvements we must make."
