The Congress of South African Trade Unions in the North West province rejects the views of some racist media, and people who are leading a racial agenda against workers in Sun City and in the farms.

COSATU want to put on record that the racist case against Marieta Le Roux is not withdrawn. It has been struck off the roll, due to unprocedural matters that were misled to the court by a few officials of the Department of Justice at Mogwase Local Magistrate Court.

The matter will be re-submitted to the Equality Court early in 2010. Marieta Le Roux insulted our members in June 2009 and called them baboons. To us as African black workers and the poor working class and this is the serious insult and racist.

In a period of only three to four months more than three racial incidents took place in Sun City. Anyone who is in the process of taking COSATU and its leaders to court, to sue, threaten, intimidate and victimize us is wasting his or her own time.

Ø In June 2009 Marieta Le Roux called people or workers baboons, and said they smell like baboons.
Ø In October 2009 workers and the President Mandela were called "kaffir" and be told that they are friends to baboons.
Ø In November 2009 poor women were subjected to strip off their clothes accused for stealing R40. 00 by white racist working for 247 Security Company.

Those who are in government, the private sector and some politicians must not interfere with our programme to fight racism and corruption both in Sun City and government.

Your political agenda and your personal interests as shareholders will not stop our action. Those who have shares in 247 Security Company, Falcon Security, Tours in Sun City and many others must just keep quiet, and they must stop threatening us with the aim of making us run away from leading our campaign against racism and corruption. Both racism and corruption are criminal and they affect our economy and destroying our democracy.

COSATU is busy putting up legal people in the province to fight the case against Marieta Le Roux and other cases of racism in the province. Corrupt politicians, officials and those who are racists are not our friends.

Marieta's case is on our programme, and come the new date for court we will be there. On 3 December 2009 we will be at Sun City main gate demanding 247 and Falcon Security company to be kicked out or else we will not leave the gate.
