The outcome of a Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) central executive committee (CEC) meeting held to discuss the fate of its beleaguered president, Willie Madisha, will be announced on Friday.
Cosatu spokesperson Patrick Craven said a statement would be issued but he would not be drawn out on the meeting held at Cosatu House on Thursday.
Last month, Madisha came under fire from his own executive for the way he handled the matter of a R500 000 ”donation” to the South African Communist Party (SACP).
At the end of August, Madisha and a witness told police they delivered a R500 000 donation to SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande in 2002.
Nzimande later denied ever receiving the R500 000 donation, allegedly made by businessman Charles Modise.
An SACP task team has found no credible evidence that the donation had ever existed.
The CEC meeting on Thursday came a month ahead of schedule.
On September 17, a special Cosatu CEC meeting was held in Kempton Park.
At the time, Vavi said the next special CEC session would be held in November to discuss ”corrective measures” about the issue. — Sapa
