The South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU) has written a letter to its General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi with a letter of intention to suspend him.
The letter to Vavi, seen by The Bulrushes, dated 15 March 2022, says in part, that “there are quite a number of transgressions on your part that are tantamount to acts of misconduct and misbehaviour and warrants investigations and possible disciplinary action.”
The letter written by SAFTU President Mac Chavalala, added: “This serves to inform you that you are requested to give reasons why you shouldn’t be placed under a precautionary suspension, whilst the investigations take place.”
According to the letter which is on a SAFTU letterhead, the investigations will be on alleged violations of the union federation’s “constitution, administration, and finance policy as well as disrespecting/undermining constitutional structural decisions and resolutions.”
Vavi has until Thursday to respond.
Vavi has confirmed he received the letter written after a meeting of national office bearers on Monday.
