ALL KwaZulu-Natal teachers whose salaries were docked after the 2010 strike could get their money back as early as next week.
"We want to comply with the court order," said Education Department head Nkosinathi Sishi yesterday.
The Supreme Court of Appeal recently ruled in favour of National Teachers' Union members who objected to their salaries being docked after the public servants' strike in 2010.
The court ruled that the manner in which salaries were docked was not correct.
According to the KwaZulu-Natal executive council in September last year, the department had deducted R144728621 from 80782 employees.
