The union believes educators across South Africa have no option but to counter fire with fire.
The “radical and militant” teachers’ union, the Educators’ Union of South Africa , on Wednesday escalated its call for teachers across the country to arm themselves and be in a position to defend themselves amidst escalating incidents of violence in schools.
“It can never be correct when we are butchered in our workplaces, as if we don’t have an employer. Teachers, defend yourselves. Our call for teachers to arm themselves in self-defence is misconstrued deliberately by those who benefit out of the shenanigans in our schools – the drug dealers, armed robbers, rapists, heartless criminals and beneficiaries of the school shenanigans.”
“How did the president choose her over [Gauteng Education MEC] Panyaza Lesufi? EUSA will continue to reject her as minister until she leaves for good. Her arrogance behind the Sadtu capture is too annoying and hampers real education in the country,” said Bhengu.
