ANA reports that the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) on Wednesday threatened a "total shutdown" of schools in Limpopo should education authorities not heed its demand to fix the education crisis in the province.
The union said it would march to the provincial education department, treasury and premier Stanley Mathabatha's office in Polokwane on Thursday as a first warning shot. The Cosatu affiliate said it was demanding, among other things, that textbooks and stationery be delivered to all schools, the payment of salaries and benefits owed to all teachers and principals, and the withdrawal of austerity measures by the treasury, which the union said hampered payments and the appointment of teachers. The union urged communities, parents and learners to join its march on Thursday.
