NEW: ANC rejects Cosatu's call for a ban on labour brokers

ANC head of economic transformation Enoch Godongwana has rejected Cosatu’s call to ban labour brokers – saying the move would be detrimental to economic growth in the country.

Cosatu took a resolution at its national congress held at Gallagher Estate in Midrand this week – calling for the total ban of labour brokers.

This came a few months after the government made changes to the Labour Relations Act to provide workers with job security.

Despite the new regulations, Cosatu has insisted on a total ban of labour brokers.
