SABC News reports that the National Teachers Union (Natu) intends taking the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Education to the Durban High Court for what it terms its 'unprocedural' process of post creation and distribution of surplus teachers.
Natu’s Allan Thompson told the media they had not been consulted about the so-called circular surplus process, according to which teachers were being identified and moved to other schools. He indicated that “we have taken a decision to go to the Durban High Court to interdict the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education from moving the educators without following the correct process - as agreed upon with the National Department of Basic Education.” Natu also expressed concern at what it termed the continuous exploitation of Grade R teachers, who earn less than R2,000 a month, despite a recent departmental salary increase of R500.
