Bheki Ntshalintshali, general secretary of Cosatu, told City Press this week that the federation may yet turn the wheel and rebound.

One of the resolutions on the agenda for congress is to modify the Cosatu constitution's provision on affiliate autonomy.

The continuous shift toward the public sector has an influence on Cosatu's overall authority, according to Ntshalintshali.
