    Thousands of learners from township high schools and members of the local South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) marched to the district office of the Eastern Cape Department of Education on Friday to protest about the shortage of teachers in their schools.

    Thousands of learners from township high schools and members of the local South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) marched to the district office of the Eastern Cape Department of Education on Friday to protest about the shortage of teachers in their schools.

     
    The marchers wanted to hand over a petition to district director, Amos Fetsha. 
     
    The march started at Raglan Road where learners gathered near Ming Chan Henry General Dealer and proceeded through Beaufort and High Streets, bringing traffic to a standstill. They waved placards that read, “Future is in the dustbin without teachers”; “We are the leaders of tomorrow, how can we lead without education”; and “We demand back our teachers, the coterie killing our education in Grahamstown must go.”
