The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) is disturbed by social media posts that claim SADTU’s support of  IFP’s Premier Candidate in KwaZulu Natal, Mr AT Ntuli.

Last week, we denounced as fake a poster with the SADTU logo and Ntuli’s picture proclaiming the Union’s  support for Ntuli as the Province’s Premier candidate. This week, a  Facebook post by one Councillor Biyela is doing the rounds again claiming SADTU’s support for Ntuli’s Premier candidate ambitions.

We want to reiterate that these posts are blatant lies. SADTU does not know Biyela from a bar of soap. He is not our member and never was.  We urge the IFP and Ntuli to stop using the Union’s name to gain credibility, publicity, and popularity.
