SADTU NORTH WEST PROVINCE ADDRESSES SPECULATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA ALLEGATIONS
The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) in the North West Province has noted with grave concern various speculative social media posts and so-called “Breaking News” graphics regarding the leadership of the Zuluboy Moloto Region in the North West Province. These posts allege these leaders have been suspended on allegations of “Jobs-for-Cash” claims and political conspiracy.
The Union strongly cautions against the circulation of unverified and unsubstantiated claims relating to the alleged “selling” of educator posts or the alleged conspiracy of Department officials in internal Union affairs.
Such allegations, presented without credible evidence or due process, risk misleading the public and unfairly tarnishing the reputation of individuals and the union.
Not only does SADTU maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and any conduct detrimental to the interests of our members and the education sector, but it also believes in upholding the rule of law and fairness and considers these false rhetorics as malicious and defamatory to all those targeted.
SADTU distances itself from such utterances and urges all stakeholders, including members of the public and the media to refrain from amplifying unverified claims. The Union remains committed to protecting its integrity and that of the education sector and will not be deterred by external narratives that seek to undermine its credibility.
