Selling of teaching posts: Timetable for release of report released

Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga, has released a timetable for the release of a report into a probe into allegations that teaching posts had been sold.

Motshekga appointed a task team to investigate claims that principal and teacher posts were sold in several provinces, including North West. Teacher union Sadtu was identified as the main culprit in the scandal.

Motshekga previously said she was aware of the stronghold of unions in some provinces.

Department spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga, says Motshekga is committed to the timeframes for the consultation process and subsequent release of the report on the 15th of April.
