The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) backed a motion put forward by the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (Sactwu) for the government to ban international e-commerce platforms Shein and Temu, citing a 2025 study which estimated that the platforms could jeopardise up to 34,000 local jobs by 2030.
