Sowetan reports that troubled Cosatu looks set to lose key leaders who have accepted ANC nominations to serve in Parliament. Amongst the leader are National Education Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) general secretary Fikile Majola and National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) president Senzeni Zokwana. Nehawu deputy president Joe Mpisi has accepted nomination for the Gauteng legislature. Unlike the SA Communist Party, Cosatu leaders have to vacate office should they opt to represent the ANC in government. Other Cosatu leaders, including its president S'dumo Dlamini, suspended Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi and National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) general secretary Irvin Jim declined nominations. Sowetan could not establish if Cosatu Free State secretary Sam Mashinini or SA Transport and Allied Workers' Union (Satawu) general secretary Zenzo Mahlangu have signed nomination forms.
