The ongoing nationwide COSATU strike, which began early this morning, October 7, 2024, has stirred up significant conversation across South Africa. This action, organized by the Congress of South African Trade Unions, is part of the larger World Day for Decent Work initiative. COSATU is advocating for the protection of workers’ rights, with a strong focus on combating unemployment, corruption, and economic inequality, all of which have worsened due to rising inflation and soar. The event has sparked a wave of mixed reactions on X.com (formerly Twitter), showcasing deep divides in public opinion.
