Top news items in major S. African media outlets

Xinhua, May 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

The following are highlights of major South African media outlets on Monday.

-- Legislation protecting workers rights would not have been brought about without the tripartite alliance, African National Congress (ANC) President Jacob Zuma said on Sunday.

Addressing the main Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) workers day celebration in Mamelodi, Gauteng, Mr Zuma issued an appeal for the electorate to retain the ruling party and the preservation of the tripartite alliance. (Business Day).

-- South African Communist Party deputy general secretary Jeremy Cronin has called for the reinstatement of arms deal corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma to help him clear his reputation and that of the country and the ANC.

Speaking at a May Day rally at the Curries Fountain Stadium in Durban Sunday, Cronin, who is the Public Works Deputy Minister, said the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) should have good reasons to decline to reinstate the 783 charges against Zuma. "As things stand the charges should be reinstated. As the ANC has correctly said 'justice delayed is justice denied'". (Pretoria News). Endit
