Zuma: ANC best for workers
12/06/2007 16:43 - (SA)
Cape Town - It was crucial for workers that the African National Congress continue governing South Africa, the organisation's deputy president, Jacob Zuma, said on Tuesday.
It was during the ANC's tenure in government that the rights of domestic and farm workers were recognised, he told the national congress of the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union in Cape Town.
"The ANC government creates conditions for the workers better than any other party. And therefore for Cosatu and its affiliates, and the working class in general, the ANC is a crucial organisation to continue governing this country."
He said this point should not be obscured by "what tensions at times occur" - a reference to the ongoing public service strike. Zuma said the strike had to be settled quickly.
