I have formally requested MEC Sipho Hlomuka and the HOD of Education to institute firm disciplinary action against educators in KwaDukuza who intend to abandon their professional duties to attend a SADTU function. With the 2025 matric examinations imminent, safeguarding instructional time is paramount.
We will also escalate this matter to SACE, with principals in iLembe directed to submit the names of absent teachers.
