Notice

We refer to the report on Mr. Thobile Ntola’s disciplinary hearing and wish to clarify the following:

Via Africa concluded an agreement with SADTU in and during March 2007 for advertisements in Educators’ Voice. Full payment was received in and during 2010.The payment received was not for a sponsorship or donation to 2010 congress as recorded by the SADTU.

For the 2011 endorsement or advertisement that Mr. Ntola participated in, no money was received by Sadtu.

On 8 July 2014, Via Afrika disclosed to the union, a letter signed by Ntola authorising himself to take part in the media campaign of Via Afrika. NEC had no knowledge of such a letter until it was made available by Via Afrika.

As SADTU we did not insinuate that Via Afrika bribed Ntola.
