Saftu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi on Monday said the decision to hold a national shutdown comes as a result of worsening socioeconomic conditions for the working class and marginalised communities.

As trade unions plan to shut down the country on Wednesday, Cosatu president Zingiswa Losi says the strike will be about enforcing the economic rights of workers and the rest of civil society. Losi says part of this means putting pressure on government to end corruption, while pushing business to reinvest into the economy.
