Sadtu vows to take legal action over 'jobs for cash' report
Teachers' union Sadtu is threatening to obtain an interdict to prevent the release of a damning report on a jobs for cash scandal.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga is expected to release the final report on the investigation today.
According to earlier reports, Sadtu members in KZN and the Eastern Cape have been implicated in the sale of teacher and principal posts.

Sadtu maintains that the Ministerial Task Team report did not follow Motshekga's directive to hear and consider its submissions.
Sadtu's Eastern Cape spokesperson Sindisile Zamisa says legal action against the minister and leader of the probe, Professor John Volmink could follow.
"We are not going to accept this report. In fact we have already spoken to the members of Sadtu that are part of the report, who were never given an opportunity to state their side of the story, to take legal action against Professor Volmink and the minister.
"We are definitely going to take legal action against the State for the report," he said.
