Responding to a question on Cosatu's threats that it will mount protests, including the blocking of roads, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the foreign affairs minister, said such activity would be illegal. Dlamini-Zuma says South Africa will act according to its laws, which prohibit the illegal blocking of borders. Meanwhile, a Cosatu delegation was recently refused entry to Zimbabwe. The delegation of about 20 people had said the mission was a fact-finding one ahead of the March 31 parliamentary elections in that country.
