*Vavi vows to step down if corruption claims against him are proven****Natasha Marrian and Sam Mkokeli, Business Day, Johannesburg, 28 February 2013*
CONGRESS of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says he will step down if anyone can prove he committed irregularities in procuring the federation's new offices and the sale of its old.
"I will just leave because that will be the worst form of betrayal ... I will just walk because it means I have no bloody credibility left whatsoever," Mr Vavi told a media briefing at Cosatu House in Braamfontein.
This followed reports that Cosatu's top leadership structure, the central executive committee, decided to probe Mr Vavi's conduct.
Senior Cosatu leaders, who wished to remain anonymous, said on Wednesday that Mr Vavi would be investigated for impropriety. But Cosatu's top leaders on Thursday denied that any investigations were under way.
"We have said our general secretary is not under investigation," Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini said.
