The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU)  is gearing up for its 14th congress which starts tomorrow. Cosatu leaders say this year's congress comes at a critical time in the country's history - with high unemployment rates and an ailing economy among other issues. Cosatu is expected to reveal its future plans and provide comprehensive reports on various functions during the congress. Two-thousand delegates are expected to attend the elective congress and the federation is hoping to emerge  stronger and united.
