The Mercury reports that the successful applicants for as many as 800 senior posts - including heads of department, deputy principals and principals - at schools around KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) have apparently yet to be announced.
As a result, the applicants and the schools are facing serious challenges in planning for next year. A total of 2,204 posts were advertised earlier this year and appointment letters were meant to be distributed on 24 October, with appointees due to have assumed duties on 1 December. But as of Monday, only about 1,300 successful applicants had seemingly been announced. Leann Roos of the Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysersunie commented that schools could not effectively plan for next year if they did not know who the successful candidates were. A spokesman for the Department of Education placed the blame on inefficient school governing bodies.
