COSATU's 15th National Congress will take place despite the delay over the adoption of credentials.

“No, we're confident the Congress will take place. It is a delay slightly.”

The verdict· graded 15 Sept

Delegates were gathering in Midrand for COSATU’s 15th National Congress, which was to run from 14 to 17 September 2026.

The passages show the congress was scheduled and underway on 2026-09-14, but they do not establish that it had concluded. The claimed delay over the adoption of credentials is also not verified in the evidence.
