A high school teacher in Vietnam has been held in detention for four months on suspicion of producing anti-state propaganda.
More than 900 KwaZulu-Natal teachers earn salaries without setting foot in classrooms, provincial education authorities said on Thursday.
These teachers claimed to have been displaced from their work places because of violence and intimidation, education MEC Senzo Mchunu said in Durban.
“We are trying to deal with this problem because it hits us financially. We have agreed to develop a process to fast track the absorption and utilisation of these educators,” he told reporters.
KwaZulu-Natal was the only province with this problem because of its history of political violence.
Some teachers had apparently been displaced for years. All they did was regularly go to the education department's circuit office to sign paperwork indicating they were still in the department's employ.
Mchunu said the department was busy doing away with the “displaced” category.
“This has to stop because we no longer have violence in this province. If teachers have problems in their schools, they must stay until those problems are resolved.”
Some teachers refused to go to the new schools to which they had been assigned - with union backing.
Mchunu said the department would also deal with principals who consistently produced poor matric results.
“We are worried about the poor level of accountability among some principals. You find a principal who would produce less than 20 percent matric pass rate for four years and nothing is done to him.”
They would first get training. Further action would be taken against them if they continued to perform badly. - Sapa

Mchunu, while you are at it, please get the ball rolling on the number of pregnant female students in the schools. Start sex education in rural schools at age 8. Supply schools with condoms and ensure the school curriculum includes extensive sex education. It is not nice to see 80% of students with distended bellies in schools. It gives the good girls a bad name and we sometimes do not want to be associated with a school that has so many pregnant students. Maybe take these students out and have them go to a seperate education facility..... because I dont think a huge belly is fashionable in class. These pregnant pupils also fall asleep in class, disrupting the lesson with their snoring. I dont think its discrimination to pack them all up and send them to evening classes to complete their studies. they shud take responsibilty for the consequences of their actions. Government shud also stop paying grants out to these children born out of carelessness... Did you hear me Mchunu??

This government is killing SA. I will never vote for the ANC again even if i have my last breath. People are starving, unemployment is so high, crime is escalating, and yet there are people getting paid for doing NOTHING?????? Who in the Government Department is accountable for this? Who is taking responsibility for this.... FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY. They should be checking payroll before authorising any salaries... how sure are they that these ppl are not employed elsewhere? Just becos they go somewhere and sign their names doesnt mean they are not working...!!! President Zuma, please get your house in order... Oh, I forgot, you cant remember the names of all your children and grandchldren, so that would be hard for you..!!!

Why the F am I paying for lazy teachers, who are sitting at home sipping Beer and Inkomazi while I am working so hard, sweating and smelling and going home hungry as a horse? This useless government has to GO. I tell you, they are so F..ing incompetent it galls me to death to know that they are allowing so much corruption to carry on... Are these mainly Black teachers..... if they are, then I rest my case. !!! Oh BTW, I am also Black, and this has nothing to do with race, its just that I am fed up with lazy black people always looking to blame everyone else for their selfcenteredness and selfishness. And this goes to Zoomer and his corrupt ministers...
