DA condemns SADTU’s ‘baseless attacks’ at minister Gwarube

# The DA says the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union’s latest attack on minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube, is a clear attempt to protect wrongdoing. SADTU has called on president Cyril Ramaphosa to sanction Gwarube, following her decision to keep the new Foundation Phase textbook catalogue suspended. The union says this is despite investigations finding no evidence of wrongdoing in the procurement process. The DA says the minister did her job by stopping the process, seeking legal clarity, and preventing provinces from illegally procuring textbooks.
