The Democratic Alliance today said the South African Democratic Teachers Union’s go-slow constitutes an illegal strike. 

Sadtu has today embarked on a go-slow demanding that Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, and her director general, Bobby Soobrayan to resign. 

DA Shadow Minister of Basic Education Annette Lovemore said no public servant as our teachers can work 7hours a day and say it is a go-slow, it is withholding of labour from schools.

Lovermore said it is utilizing the easiest of all pawns that there is to use and those are children in the case of teachers.

Lovernore added that there is no legal provision on which to base a strike they certainly call minister Motshekga to take urgent action to make sure this strike in disguise brought to halt.
