SADTU NATIONAL MARCH (MEMORANDUM ) DBE & DHET - NATIONAL TREASURY
SADTU National March 2025 – Defying Austerity
South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) on its recent bold stand against austerity measures in the education sector.
On April 23, thousands of SADTU members flooded Pretoria in a disciplined, militant display against austerity in education. The city turned red with revolutionary energy as the union took a bold stand for educators, learners, and the future of public schooling.
Church Square became a sea of revolution as union leaders, joined by COSATU President, led the charge to the Department of Basic Education, Higher Education, and the National Treasury.
SADTU General Secretary, Doctor Maluleke delivered a fiery address, condemning austerity for strangling public education and dehumanizing learners and teachers alike. The union demanded urgent action—more funding for Early Childhood Development, fair wages for educators, and an end to neoliberal policies threatening the future of South Africa’s children.
The message to government was clear: Respect educators. Invest in public education. Reverse austerity. With a 21-day ultimatum issued, SADTU’s fight is far from over. Their voice is loud. Their presence undeniable.
