A concern was also raised about the non-payment of the Gloria Coal miners in Middelburg and that they should be paid as they were suffering together with their families.
The mine was owned by the Gupta family and it has since been closed down.
Premier Mtsweni was told that Cosatu were prepared to make Mpumalanga ungovernable if the miners were not paid what was due to them.
The miners are owed their salaries for the past four months.
Cosatu also came strong on Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe.
Premier Mtsweni promised that she will pass the memorandum to all the relevant departments.
