Protestors Dump Sewage at Airport Ahead of Obama's South Africa Visit

Via Cousin John

Protestors in South Africa, thought to be affiliated with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party, dumped raw sewage at the Cape Town International Airport on Tuesday. President Barack Obama is due to arrive in South Africa on Friday and will speak in Cape Town on Sunday. The protest was linked to a series of ongoing demonstration in the so-called "toilet wars" over sanitation policy in the city. It was not aimed at Obama, but took place against a backdrop of demonstrations and internal battles surrounding Obama's visit.

Local news sources report that the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), which is technically a governing partner with the ANC, plans to "disrupt" Obama's visit to the country by staging demonstrations involving thousands of protestors. Cosatu specifically objects to Obama's foreign policy, which it describes as imperialist and militaristic.
