The Congress of the South African Trade Unions Cosatu has called on its alliance partners, the African National Congress ANC and the South African Communist Party SACP, to sort out their tension and not to drag it into their differences.
Relations between the two historical allies have been rocky following the Communist Partys decision to contest the 2026 local elections independently.
The party says that for over two decades, the ANC has been refusing to reconfigure the alliance.
