The Struggle for Justice Inside the South African Freedom Movement

The Congress of South Africa Trade Unions (COASTU) was instrumental in dismantling apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s, and has long been a force for justice all over the the world. However, over the last several years, a split has emerged and an internal struggle has led to the explosion of key leaders in the movement, including General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi. The Global African host Bill Fletcher examines this development with Zwelinzima Vavi, former General Secretary of COSATU, and Irvin Jim, General Secretary of NUMSA (National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa). teleSUR
