“SADTU, as an affiliate of COSATU which is in alliance with SACP and ANC, is voting ANC because we share common enemies: poverty, racism, tribalism, corruption, inequality, sexism.” SADTU VP Gender, Dudu Nkosi at Gauteng’s 2023 Grade 12 Best Performance Awards Ceremony
SADTU will, on Monday, file an urgent court application to interdict the DBE’s decision to have all learners who wrote the Matric Mathematics 2 and Physical Science 2 papers rewrite because the papers were leaked
Law requires that the employer guarantees a safe workplace for employees, Unions will meet Minister Angie Motshekga on Sunday, 10 May 2020. Therefore as unions we stand firm on non-negotiables for schools to re-open safely and fairly
It is unfortunate that the law and the South African Council for Educators (SACE) have prescribed sanctions for teachers who engage in physical confrontation with the learners, but these do not exist for the learners

SADTU is 29 years old today. Launched on 6 October 1990 at Sherworld, Johannesburg in the presence of Nelson Mandela, SADTU has grown from a Union of 30 000 in 1990 to close to 260 000 in 2019 to be the largest union in the education and public services sector in SA

Based on the initial investigation which has shown that the number of learners who may have seen the papers are less that 200 out of the 390 000 who wrote the paper, there is no basis for a national rewrite
Having acknowledged that we have no powers to dictate to the President whom to appoint, but Siviwe Gwarube of the DA is an affront to SADTU. The DA has always made SADTU its enemy number one.
