DA condemns SADTU for disrupting schools in Soweto
28 January 2019
Teaching and learning at schools in Kliptown and Eldorado Park were disrupted this morning by SADTU members. Learners were sent home as SADTU plans to protest the entire week against the alleged racism faced by black South African teachers in coloured communities in Gauteng.
While the national and provincial structures of SADTU have ruled the protests as illegal and have urged their teachers to return to work, the disruptions have continued unabated.
The Union has consistently been a barrier to quality education in the province.
Where SADTU has dominance, learning and teaching get disrupted. Johannesburg Central is the worst performing district in Gauteng and primarily because SADTU holds meetings during school hours and don’t teach during these periods.
