HuffPost reports that the SA Democratic Teachers' Union (Sadtu) will be marching to Hoërskool Overvaal in Vereeniging on Thursday morning.
"We will be delivering a memorandum to the school governing body; the district officer will also be there," the union's Gauteng secretary, Tseliso Ledimo, indicated. The union will be joined by its affiliates, including the ANC (Sedibeng region) and labour federation Cosatu, and is expecting a representative from the school to accept the memorandum. This will be a continuation of protest action that has been taking place outside the school since Wednesday last week. It follows the Hoërskool Overvaal school governing body’s (SGB’s) successful court application to overturn a Gauteng education department decision to place an additional 55 pupils at the school. While the department deemed the application by the SGB a way to exclude black pupils, the school maintained there was not enough space to accommodate the additional learners.
