MEC Lesufi must stop SADTU’s pickets from disrupting schooling
7 October 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has learnt that the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) Gauteng Central Region has planned two pickets with the intention of disrupting schooling in that region.
The pickets will be held on 11 and 14 October at the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) Gauteng Central Region District offices and the GDE Head Office.
The SADTU affiliated members in the Gauteng Central Region have also planned not to submit learners’ marks and reports.
SADTU does not prioritise learners interest on top of their agenda. It is unacceptable that learners must suffer because of a dispute between the union and the department.
