March 1966 - Now He Is Boss, Will It Be Peace? - Clement Lubembe, General secretary of COTU, was at odds with Dennis Akumu over affiliation to the ICFTU. Trade Unions had played a critical role in the independence struggle, but after independence splits occurred on ideological grounds. The goverment stepped in and created the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) to bring the unions under its control. The decision was based on the recommendations of Sessional Paper No. 10 which called for a single central trade union federation. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
