SAFTU slams Ramaphosa’s TRC inquiry as wasteful

# The South African Federation of Trade Unions has condemned president Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to establish a judicial commission to investigate delays in prosecuting apartheid-era crimes. SAFTU spokesperson Newton Masuku argues the government should implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations instead of launching another costly inquiry. He highlighted that past commissions, including the Zondo and Marikana inquiries have yielded little action, making this new effort a waste of taxpayers’ money.
