SAFTU is currently holding its national elective conference in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg. New policies are also expected to be adopted before the conference draws to a close tomorrow. In the past two days, members of the trade union have been at loggerheads over administrational and protocol issues, for example - the issue of whether the four suspended national office bearers of the union should be re-instated or not, was taken to a vote, something that should have been taken care of before the start of the conference. So what is at the heart of SAFTU’s divisions and how are these divisions affecting the working class and members of the union?
Guest: Katishi Masemola, former General Secretary of Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) & former President of International Union of Food (IUF) who was part of the formation of SAFTU
