SADTU KZN SECURES A MEETING TO DISCUSS EARLY RETIREMENT APPLICATIONS
SADTU KZN has secured a meeting with the Provincial Education Department – Head of Department to discuss HRM Circular 3 of 2026.
In this Circular, the Head of Department, Mr GN Ngcobo, indicated that he is not in a position to approve applications for Early Retirement without pension penalties.
This meeting is important for the SADTU to raise its concerns on behalf of members who applied for early retirement. The current posture of the KZN DOE undermines collective bargaining and threatens trust that employees and SADTU have in the department.
Going to this meeting, SADTU will be calling for transparency from the department for the union to understand the real reasons behind their decision to disapprove these applications.
Members will be informed about the outcomes of the meeting and the next steps.
