As a member of samwu I welcome the court s decision but I think the CEC should take harsh decision when the meet.if he was not properly suspended doesnt mean he is innocent of the charges . nepotism is a big mistake that someone who is a custodian of workers can commit .the shopstwards of our movement are always guarding,that senior official do not commit such and it is a disgrace of it, to have it committed by our Sg the person we all look out for to help us guard against such.
