The Congress of South African Trade Unions, with more than 7000-8000 workers organized in SACCAWU and SATAWU, has rejected the submission from Sun International's chief executive officer to put off the investigation team while the perpetrators of racism are still inside Sun City.

COSATU's demand is very clear: the operations manager and the racist security companies, Falcon and 247, must go now.

Racism and discrimination at Sun City is there. It has been there for years and is still continuing. Why wait for the investigation? COSATU members are subjected to discrimination, sexual harassment and slavery led by security companies and labour brokers under Sun City.

COSATU is still demanding a full investigation into some officials and politicians of the North West provincial government and the disbandment of the gambling board. Workers suspect that there is corruption in the board. Therefore COSATU demands that the gambling board must be investigated, and to find out who are the shareholders of 247 Security Company and the Boinelo Heritage Tours operation.

Interdict or no interdict COSATU's protest action is going on, in particular fighting against racism, discrimination, sexual harassment and corruption.
