Credit: Reuters/Kevin Coombs JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Jacob Zuma on Saturday urged unity in a fragile alliance with a key workers' union and communist allies, promising new laws to end casual labor and improve workers' living conditions. World Zuma speaking in Durban to mark May Day, said workers' share of national income in Africa's largest economy had not grown to acceptable levels, with rural areas still deeply divided into affluent farm blocs, peri-urban and poorer communal areas. "The benefits of economic growth have not been broadly and equitably shared," Zuma told a May Day gathering. Deep divisions between South Africa's ruling ANC, the main labor movement COSATU, which has nearly 2 million members, and communist allies have threatened a decades-old alliance as rival factions battle for power and influence to shape policy. Zuma said the government would introduce laws to promote decent work for all employees, to regulate contract work, subcontracting and out-sourcing in a bid to address labor broking and prohibit some abusive practices "We are also working to ensure that provisions are introduced to facilitate the unionization of workers and conclusion of sectoral collective agreements to cover vulnerable workers," he said. Zuma said the government was also implementing policies that create an environment for more labor-intensive production methods and procurement policies that support local jobs and build public-private partnerships. Turning to his allies in COSATU and the African Communist Party, Zuma said the ruling ANC and its allies needed to be united in order to transform the lives of South Africans. "There is still a lot that we must do together to advance the interests of workers," Zuma said. "The ANC is the shield, COSATU the spear of the workers." Zuma also reiterated that the soccer World Cup, due in 39 days in South Africa, will be a resounding success and that it comes as a result of the workers' decades long struggles against minority rule. "The World Cup is a celebration of our freedom, a celebration of the sacrifices and struggles of our people. Together we will make the tournament a resounding success, because we worked so hard for it over many decades," Zuma said.
