The South African Democratic
Teachers Union has hailed its two marches a resounding success.
Sadtu held a march in Cape
Town and Pretoria in
defence of collective bargaining and calling for Basic Education Minister Angie
Motshekga and her Director Bobby Soobrayn to resign.
Sadtu has given government 21 days
to respond to their demand.
Sadtu Deputy General Secretary
Nkosana Dolopi said the support given by the Sadtu members and all other unions
it is very encouraging and they will continue to fight for what they believe
in.
Dolopi also said the Union has
noted with concern, cries about the portrayal of Minister of Basic Education
Angie Motshekga during the march to Pretoria .
Dolopi added that SADTU is a
non-sexist organisation that seeks to promote equity and equality.
“We therefore cannot condone such an
act. Posters and pamphlets sanctioned by SADTU all had the union’s logo. Our
march was in defence of collective bargaining collective and the promotion of
quality public education. As we condemn
this act, we would urge government not to shift its focus from the real issues”
added Dolopi.
