Bhisho High Court has granted an urgent interim interdict against teachers' union SADTU.
This follows disruptions of the Department of Education's activities at the East London district office on Monday, when SADTU members reportedly forced departmental workers to leave the premises.
The department says in a statement the high court ordered SADTU to refrain from threatening further unlawful interference with the Department’s activities in the promotion of children's rights to basic education.
The union has also been ordered to stop interfering with previous court orders relating to the 2013 post establishment for educators.
The order remains in force until the 12th of May, by which date SADTU must show cause why the order should not be made final.
