The Congress of South African Trade Unions expelled its General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi in a move that may split the nation’s biggest labor federation and ally of the ruling African National Congress.

“His behavior has undermined all the efforts to achieve unity and cohesion in the federation as facilitated by the ANC,” Deputy General Secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali told reporters in Johannesburg on Tuesday. “The conduct of the general secretary constitutes gross misconduct.”
