Johannesburg - Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi is
not concerned about the possibility of losing his job, amid allegations of
corruption, it was reported on Monday.
"No, I'm not worried about that. I don't think that is
a possibility at all," Vavi told SABC radio when asked whether he was
worried about not finishing his term.
The Mail & Guardian reported on Friday that the Cosatu's
central executive committee had called for an investigation into Vavi for
alleged corruption relating to the acquisition of its new headquarters.
"I've already offered to anyone to come forward with
proof of that and nobody will have to wait for any process.... My conscience
would tell me to leave at that point," Vavi said.
He had no doubt the allegations emanated from within Cosatu,
but was unhappy that high-ranking officials had gone to the media.
"How could you have leadership that are happy to be
sources to newspapers?" he asked.
"The allegations must be made.... There are details on
the selling of that building that I'm willing to engage with," he said.
