Chinese Premier Visits SA, COSATU Silent
Chinese Premier Hu Jintao has arrived in South Africa for a two day state visit. I was expecting COSATU to be a bit more vocal about his visit considering that China is responsible for putting countless of it’s members out of a job, over 40 000 in the Western Cape textile industry alone, but I guess for the sake of tri-partite unity they are keeping shtum. One thing Mbeki doesn’t need right now is another uproar hot on the heels of the German corruption investigation and FNB ad pulling fracas.
