Johannesburg - Axed Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi believes that he was unfairly dismissed and there is a chance he will fight it.
He told reporters in Johannesburg on Wednesday that he remained convinced that he had done nothing wrong, let alone break the law as alleged by forensic auditors.
“I am further in consultations on whether or not I should challenge my extremely irregular, illegal and completely unjustified expulsion as general secretary of Cosatu,” Vavi said.
He said the law dictated that he had to be subjected to a hearing by an independent person before any action was taken.
Vavi is also considering going to court on what he says is defamation by Cosatu’s central executive committee.
He was in consultation with his lawyers and family on what to do.
Vavi was flanked by six leaders from Cosatu’s affiliates at the press conference.
They and others would hold a meeting later this month to consider options.
While speculation is rife that Vavi will head up another federation, he would not answer questions on this. Instead, he said it would be up to workers to form a federation.
Vavi and his allies are planning several meetings across the country.
