Sadtu: Sick SA society uses violence to get its way
The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) says South Africans use violence to force others to cave in to their demands.
The union’s deputy secretary-general Nkosana Dolopi spoke at a press briefing on the recent spate of violent incidents at South African public schools in Pretoria on Tuesday.
“Currently we have a sick society that uses violence for whatever demand they may have.”
At least three stabbings and a shooting of a KwaZulu-Natal teacher has been recorded within school premises in the past few weeks.

The events have caused an uproar, with the Educator’s Union of South Africa (Eusa) calling for teachers to arm themselves.
These calls have been rejected by the unions such as SADTU, Fedsas, Naptosa and the Department of Basic Education.
