Municipal Workers support SADTU's calls for Minister and DG to resign

The South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) would like to throw its weight behind the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) and its important struggle in defence of collective bargaining, labour peace and the promotion of quality public education.

The state of education in South Africa, overcrowding in schools, the textbook debacle and the failure of the Minister to respond adequately to these challenges is reason enough for any sensible politician and or organisation to support the calls being made by SADTU that the Minister for Basic Education Angie Motshekga and the Director General Bobby Soobrayan must resign immediately.

We cannot continue with business as usual, the future of our country, in the form of basic education is at stake. We will wait for SADTU to advise us as Municipal Workers what we can do to assist in ensuring the Minister and Director General of the Department of Basic Education resigns.

Statement issued by Tahir Sema, SAMWU National Media and Publicity Officer, April 19 2013
