SCHOOLING in the Eastern Cape will get off to a rocky start next week as teachers prepare to protest against the sacking of thousands of colleagues and the redeployment of those in excess of requirements at some schools.
The SA Democratic Teachers’ Union has its knives out for the provincial government for forging ahead with the redeployment drive, which it has been fighting for years.
Sadtu leaders met in Bhisho yesterday to launch a counter-offensive with "battle-lines drawn” against what it calls the "state onslaught against quality public education”.
Provincial secretary Mncekeleli Ndongeni said: "We will start fighting [this week] so that by the time schools open and teachers and pupils return, they will know what is going on.”

How can Zuma rant on about inequality,meaning whites are better off than blacks when he has just spent millions on his new abode forsaking the masses in need. Anyway i believe e tv will do a documentary on the subject.
Report Abuse Author: thirsty Date: 13 January 2013 9:10This is just one typical example of the mentality behind numerous problems in this country, the leaders cannot lead and the followers just want things their own way and will toytoyi untill they do. Unfortunately very little constructive thinking or planning seems to get done. The big problem is that unfortunately the vast population that continue to vote for the ANC do not see or understand what the general chaos does to the economy, the unemployment, the fiscal of the country, the ability for the country to grow and employ them and improve lives for many. This is also in the end why we get knee jerk comments from our president regarding whites and land redistribution to keep the majority happy, but they do not understand that they are probably going to be worse off. VOTE ANC OUT.
