- Description
- During the past 12 months the South African Democratic Teachers' Union (SADTU) recruited 37 947 teachers to the union, making SADTU the biggest union in South Africa today. With completed membership forms in excess of 15 000 still to be collected, SADTU can talk of an effective membership of 50 000 teachers, the SADTU president, Shepherd Mdladlana said during his address to Congress at Nasrec, Johannesburg. The SADTU membership further consists of teachers from all departments all over the country, making SADTU the only unitary, non-racial teachers' union in the country. In his report to Congress, SADTU General Secretary, Randall van den Heever, pointed out that the most progressive members of all erstwhile organisations - newly emergent as well as established - occupied leadership positions within the union's branch and regional structures, making SADTU the most well represented union of teachers from all sectors.
