End overcrowding in schools – Sadtu

The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) in Durban South slammed overcrowding in schools during a protest at the provincial education department headquarters in Durban on Tuesday.

Around 100 protesters in red Sadtu attire held placards calling for a end to overcrowding in schools, while Education MEC Peggy Nkonyeni addressed a media briefing inside the building.

Sadtu Durban South regional secretary Themba Mazibuko told News24 that the ANC Mangaung conference in 2012 had outlined the urgency for the department to address overcrowding in schools.
