Sadtu threatens to prevent release of jobs- for-cash report


Teachers union Sadtu has threatened to obtain an interdict to prevent the release of a damning report on a jobs for cash scam.

Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga, is expected to release the final report of the investigation on Friday.

According to earlier reports Sadtu members in the Eastern Cape and Kwazulu Natal have been implicated in the sale of teacher and principal posts.

Sadtu in the Eastern Cape said it has advised members who are implicated but did not have a chance to respond to the allegations, to seek legal advice.

The union's provincial administrator, Sindisile Zamisa, said the national office will be seeking an interdict to stop the report's release.

He added that legal action could also follow against Minister Motshekga and the man who led the probe, Professor John Volmink.

" It was along there lines that we said we are not going to accept this report. We have already spoken to those members of Sadtu that are targets of the report, who were never given an opportunity to state their side of the story to take the legal action against the Professor Volmik and the minister. They were never opportunity which means  they ahev violated the rights of those people that are sited in the report and it for that reason that we are definintetly going to take legal action to against the state with regards to this report" he said.
