The two agreements have been reached through the National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) after Solidariteit declared a dispute with the minister.
CAPE TOWN - Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has entered into a bilateral agreement with trade union, Solidariteit, to present their recommendations on the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill to the president.
Gwarube is under mounting pressure from several political parties to implement the rest of the act signed into law in September while negotiations on these clauses are underway. In her agreement with Solidariteit, Gwarube has pledged to appeal to the president not to implement clauses 4 and 5 of the bill until regulations are put in place that will require the provincial head of department to take a number of factors into account before exercising authority over these sections.
President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the bill into law in September but suspended the two clauses in question to allow for further consultation. The Government of National Unity's clearing house mechanism is currently also seized with the matter.
