Court fines North West education MEC R100k for disregarding order in favour of short-changed teacher
In an unusual move, the Johannesburg Labour Court has fined North West Education MEC Viola Motsumi and her former acting head of department, Shadrack Mvula, R100 000 for failing to fully comply with an arbitration award granted in favour of a teacher.
On Tuesday, Judge Reynaud Daniels found Motsumi and Mvula in contempt of court after they failed to completely abide by a ruling handed down by Education Labour Relations Council arbitrator DH Smith on 27 November 2022. Smith found that Linda Moller, a teacher at Grenville High School in Rustenburg, who had seven years' experience as a governing body-appointed teacher, should have been placed on a higher post level than the one she was on.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
