Sadtu clamps down on KZN 'principal posts-for-cash' syndicate
The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) says it's begun clamping down on what it believes is a syndicate behind the buying of principal posts at schools.
The teachers' union says it's received several complaints, including from KwaZulu-Natal, of posts-for-cash.
Sadtu's Mugwena Maluleke says it's not yet clear who's behind the ring.
"It is a syndicate that works together with the school governing bodies and people in the districts and that in itself is depriving our children."

"Our teachers of quality leadership are defying this country of the skills that are needed because anybody who is going to buy a post - that person knows very that they are not ready to manage a school.
"Some schools in KZN don't have substitute teachers and they don't have full-time principal."
