Sadtu should teach and stop politicking

I agree wholeheartedly with your editorial that Sadtu is politicking for the ANC instead of teaching. In the past few days I have visited schools in my constituency of Tembisa.

In one school I found a situation that perfectly described what you wrote. Masiqhakaze Secondary School achieved only a 39 percent matric pass. Teachers said a lack of resources worsened matters. Teachers, politically divided, spend their time fighting instead of teaching. The principal resigned and was not replaced. Sadtu should dump politics and teach our children.
