The Congress of South African Trade Unions Cosatu says it supports the protest against what has been described as Unites States military invasion of Venezuela .
A coalition of South African trade unions, political groups and civil society organisations will picket outside the American Embassy in Pretoria on Thursday . The organisations condemn what they refer to as the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
Cosatu says US actions violate international law and Venezuelas sovereignty.
