Tensions brewing in the ranks of the SA Democratic Teachers Union

Western Cape saw three leaders expelled from the ranks of the SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu).

This has created cracks in the union, with some members saying the decision to expel the leaders was taken without proper constitutional disciplinary processes.

Coastal regional secretary Vusumzi Mahobe, Coastal regional treasurer Xolani Tinise, and Khayelitsha branch secretary Phendula Nqanda were recently expelled on several charges.

Disciplinary committee ruled Mahobe will not be allowed to hold any leadership position for two terms (six years), and Tinise and Nqanda were not allowed to occupy any leadership position for a term (three years).
