Cosatu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi is misreading the true nature of former Brazilian President Luiz ‘Lula’ da Silva’s leadership. Although Lula hailed originally from a trade union background, he was a reformist president who liberalised Brazil’s markets by cutting spending, paying down debt, trimming the bureaucracy, rationalising inefficient state-owned enterprises and reforming business laws to incentivise investment.
