Congress of the South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) Central Executive Committee (CEC) is expected to hold a special meeting next week to decide the fate of it’s General-Secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi.

The labour federation’s top six national office bearers met at Cosatu’s headquarters in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

Spokesperson Patrick Craven says it was a routine meeting, although weekend newspapers had reported that it would be Vavi’s disciplinary hearing. Cosatu president S’dumo Dlamini, in the meantime, has confirmed that the meeting considered a report on a grievance hearing against Vavi.

Cosatu instituted an internal disciplinary hearing against Vavi after a 26-year-old female colleague accused him of rape. She withdrew the grievance during the hearing last Monday.
