The National Union of Mineworkers Youth Forum has noted alleged insulting and disgusting comments made by Cosatu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi on his twitter page about the NUM national leadership.

Vavi on his twitter said the NUM would still be a union of choice had its national leaders not abandoned workplace issues for a preoccupation with Vavi.

NUM Youth Forum Secretary Mgotywa Sabelo said this divisive character has taken himself too seriously thinking he is bigger than anyone and the Cosatu.

Sabelo said our national leaders do not have time or energy to fight Vavi. They have time to do organisational work. 

“Unity of Cosatu is of paramount importance but we will not allow this divisive character and the so-called social media revolutionary to mislead the society” Sabelo added.
