William Madisha axed[edit]

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) axed Willy Madisha as its president. Needs to be fixed.--143.160.124.40 (talk) 20:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dates of observer missions to Zimbabwe[edit]

The visits to Zimbabwe don't indicate the year(s), but seem to be dated. Please clarify or remove. FMalan (talk) 12:53, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JoJo Raab Federation of America (JJRFA)[edit]

The JoJo Raab Federation of America (JJRFA) was listed under Affiliated Trade Unions since April 2009, 1.5 years, but I can't find anything about it on google, probably a hoax! I've removed it but quite amazing that it stayed around for that long considering its rather outragous name! 203.5.252.60 (talk) 05:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zimbabwe[edit]

COSASTU has since been a vociferous critic Harare since those failed observer missions, and l have reason to believe there is some substantial information to advance this or as evidence. Meli Ncube (talk) 11:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Meli NcubeMeli Ncube (talk) 11:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Massive Edits[edit]

I will be adding a lot of missing information to this article and attempting to expand it, please feel free to let me know if you disagree with anything that has been added or edited. --DSBennie (talk) 08:53, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a section on the fight against apartheid, I have only included one statement as it is the only source I have been able to find. I will also be removing the section on general strikes being used to fight apartheid in the establishment section as it is unsourced. If someone can find us a source for it or any other action that COSATU took against apartheid we can add it to the new section as I am sure there must be more specific things that can be added. --DSBennie (talk) 09:09, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retitling to COSATU or Cosatu[edit]

There is little doubt that in terms of WP:TITLE this article should be COSATU or Cosatu as that is the WP:COMMONNAME. I was going to put through a technical request for it to be moved to COSATU, however, it looks like sources also widely or interchangeably use Cosatu as a word (true acronym?).
