Media Statement, 4 April, 2014 COSATU should appeal the decision to lift the suspension of the COSATU General Secretary NEHAWU will be engaging with its legal advisors and the leadership of the Federation to appeal the Court's decision to reinstate the General Secretary of COSATU, Cde Zwelinzima Vavi NEHAWU has noted the judgement by the Deputy Judge President, South Gauteng High Court, Phineas Mojapelo, who has declared COSATU's suspension of its general secretary invalid and therefore lifted his suspension. As a law abiding organisation, we respect the judgment by the court. Our understanding of the judgement, though, is that, it still does not condone fornication between Cde Vavi and a worker under his authority during working hours and in the federation's premises as announced by him to the world. Therefore, just as we acknowledge the court's judgement, COSATU as a union with principles and with internal laws should still exercise its responsibility to hold the Cde Vavi to account for his actions in terms of the applicable rules of the federation. Unfortunately, this judgement does not clear Mr Vavi with regard to the offenses that he has committed in terms of the rules of the federation. Our leadership that is currently sitting in its two day NEC meeting, will be engaging with our legal advisors and the leadership of the federation to appeal the decision as set forth by the laws of the country.
