SA economy 'cannot continue to favour white monopoly capital'

NATIONAL Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) president Andrew Chirwa has demanded an end to the country’s appalling levels of inequality which continue to divide the country along racial lines, more than 30 years since the advent of democracy.

Chirwa said the country’s economy cannot continue to favour white monopoly capital while it reduces the poor working class, most of them black South Africans, to a life of poverty.

Chirwa, speaking yesterday at the union's three-day National Bargaining Conference, said the recent poor electoral showing of the ANC has allowed AfriForum, the DA as well as Donald Trump’s administration and other forces to become emboldened in their supremacist agenda against South Africa.
