So the trade unions are upset that they weren’t at the head table during the Brics summit ( “Brics and Labour”, FM 5/4-10/4/13). Well, get used to it.

Just examine the fate of trade unions in two of the Brics countries, Russia and China, both the darlings of the ANC. Some decades ago, a leading member of the Black Panthers was asked about the position of women in the Black Panther movement. His brief reply was “Prone”. The same will apply to the trade unions in Brics.

It will be interesting to see just how far COSATU will go in compromising on its members’ interests in this unholy alliance( including when it comes to ultra- cheap Chinese imports). Its leaderships ‘s compliance with the interests of the ANC elites will be strain relations even further than they currently do. Truly what goes around comes around.
