Disciplinary Processes against former President Thobile Ntola

The National Executive Committee of the South African Democratic Teachers Union ("the Union") would like to report to its members and the public in general on the outcome of the disciplinary hearing of its former President Mr Thobile Ntola ("Ntola").

We would firstly like to indicate that the disciplinary proceedings against Ntola were conducted in line with the constitution of the Union as amended in October 2010 ("the constitution").

The Union's constitution contains guidelines for the functioning of disciplinary committees.

It provides "that any member, site steward or office bearer of the Union may have disciplinary steps taken against him/her if they act in a manner detrimental to the Union or, in contravention of its policies."

This clarifies the confusion that has been deliberately created in the media by some people including Ntola himself that the decision to discipline him was a political ploy
