The New Age writes that, a week after the Department of Basic Education’s (DBE’s) jobs-for-cash report was released, the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) has demanded that its name be cleared of the selling of teacher posts.
The union maintains that, if anything, the report has vindicated it. Sadtu deputy general secretary Nkosana Dolopi said: “Sadtu as a union has not been found to be selling posts. We are not selling posts. There is no amount of money in any account of Sadtu.” The union demanded that the DBE should publicly state that the union was not involved in the selling of posts. DBE spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said there had never been suggestions from the department that Sadtu was involved in the scandal, but that there had been cases where individuals had sold posts.
