Posts-For-Cash Scam
The Posts-for-Cash Scam is a deliberate attempt to mislead and tarnish SADTU
29 April 2014
The Provincial Office has been inundated with requests to respond to allegations of posts-for-cash scam apparently operated by SADTU leaders and members after the City Press newspaper article broke the headlines on the matter this past Sunday (see here).
The worrisome factor is that whereas the SABC has recordings of SADTU's statements, it continues to flight a clip from a non-SADTU leader and so-called former SADTU spokesperson they say is speaking and confirming these reports on behalf of SADTU. This we take a dim view at and characterize it as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and a well co-ordinated agenda to besmirch the name of this gigantic union and its current leaders.
In our response to these City Press claims we have confirmed that in 2010-2011 similar allegations surfaced for the first time around Bojanala District after a plethora of anonymous letters were written to the department about the prevalence of this phenomenon. The Nexus investigation was commissioned by the department and its report and findings to date not been shared with the union, albeit pursuance of the full report by SADTU.
