Deputy Chair, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with serious concern that some teachers in Soweto abandoned teaching to join those attending an assault hearing of the Chairperson of the SA Democratic Teachers' Union, Sadtu, in Soweto;
2) further notes that the teachers who abandoned teaching mobilised learners to join them to attend the court hearing at the Meadowlands Magistrate's Court; and
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms such rogue and ill-discipline, which is at odds with the President's triple T call and the ANC government's commitment to ensure that teachers are in class, on time and teaching.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
