Twenty Years of COSATU

Reflecting on twenty years of COSATU, 1985-2005
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) was formed in 1985 at the height of township struggles against apartheid. COSATU is one of the key working class organisations that contributed immensely to the struggle against apartheid and capitalism. This year marks COSATU's 20th anniversary and this provides the South African working class and its organisations an opportunity to draw a balance sheet of the federation since its inception in 1985.
