Teacher's union to respond to jobs-for-sale report

Durban - The SA Democratic Teacher's Union (Sadtu) in KwaZulu-Natal will respond on Tuesday to a newspaper report at the weekend saying it was selling principals' posts.

"The PWC [provincial working committee] of Sadtu will hereby answer categorically to all allegations made by the newspaper," it said in a statement.

The union will address a media briefing at noon at Sadtu House on Durban.

The City Press newspaper on Sunday that rogue Sadtu members had infiltrated the KZN education department and run a complex patronage system, bring the department to a near collapse.

This also involved education departments in Gauteng, North West, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
