Sadtu welcomes delayed release of report on jobs-for-cash scandal
7 April 2016
Durban – The South African Democratic Teachers Union has welcomed a decision by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga to postpone the release of a jobs-for-cash scandal report.
Sadtu national spokesperson Nomusa Cembi on Thursday said the postponement would give union members a chance to respond to damning allegations made in the leaked interim Ministerial Task Team report.
The postponement comes after the union criticised the report, saying that it lacked credibility and did not accurately reflect what was happening at grassroots level.
The union said it was also concerned that the department was ready to release the report without giving those implicated a chance to respond to the allegations.
