MBABANE:Mduduzi Gina,the Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland(TUCOSWA) says the peaceful Workers Day celebration that was witnessed at Mayaluka Stadium on Monday came as a result of vigorous efforts by the federation and other key stakeholders.
Speaking to this Swaziland News current affairs program on Thursday, the TUCOSWA Secretary General said they held meetings before the May Day,even the police were engaged to avoid coming closer to the workers.
“We advised the police to avoid coming to the Stadium to prevent confrontations with the workers because whenever the people see them,they remember the ongoing atrocities that are committed by the police against the people,” said the TUCOSWA Secretary General.
Gina said the federation was in the process of formulating policies that will create a legal framework that seeks to reflect the true identity of the organization and what it stands for.
The Secretary General said the framework will determine ‘friends’ and partners of the federation and its position on other political and economic issues among others issues.
