Are South African teaching posts up for sale? School staff say an old problem hasn’t gone away

from POWER Perspective · host POWER98.7

Questions about the integrity of educator appointments remain unresolved in South Africa ten years after a ministerial task team investigated the alleged sale of teaching posts. The initial inquiry exposed significant vulnerabilities in a system designed to ensure that appointments are fair, equitable, and transparent. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Amy Sarah Padayachee - Lecturer at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mabija Mathemba - National Teachers Union and Siphetho Mkhize MK Member of Parliament in the Public Service Committee. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
