SADTU IN THE NORTH WEST IS DISTURBED BY ALLEGATIONS OF SELLING OF POSTS
26 March 2024
The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) in the North West has noted with great concern the allegations of selling of posts around the Tshing Circuit in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District. The union views these allegations in a very serious light and further notes the precautionary suspension of a school principal and circuit manager in relation to these allegations.
The union equally has noted that the department has set up an investigation into the matter and wishes that such an investigation be concluded within a reasonable period without any form of prejudice.
SADTU reiterates its 2022 National General Council decision on the matter that, “We encourage our members with information on selling of posts to report such to the Union’s General Secretary and law enforcement agencies. The union will continue to work with the law enforcement agencies to hold individuals accountable. We encourage SADTU structures to deal with the issue of selling of posts and infuse the anti-corruption and selling of posts in the union’s “I AM A SCHOOL FAN” Campaign.”
The Union distances itself from these incidents and will never condone or tolerate criminal acts in education. The selling of posts is corruption. It de-professionalizes the profession and denies highly qualified and skilled educators who are not connected and who do not have money fair opportunities for upward mobility.
