Teachers aren't unemployed because we have foreign teachers. Teachers are unemployed because the state refuses to employ them.

Thought your proximity to Johnson will be used to push for the prosecution of Barbita killers. Sadly, you are using that to undermine what she stood for.

What stops Eskom from hiring people to do the job?

Why interns, stop with this scam.

Don’t argue with anyone who tells you Teboho Mokoena isn’t Bafana Bafana’s most important player. They’re only trying to waste your time.

NGO’s are like Alex rats in the country eco-system. They appear from nowhere to undermine democratic processes.

@AfricaFirsts Nigeria also scored with a handball against South Africa to get a draw.

They should have lost that one too.

Nigeria then got another chance. Got given a gift by Abongile Tom against Gabon. Still didn't make it.

They had enough chances. Their fans are tiring.

South Africa 🇿🇦 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 were in the same World Cup qualifying group. Despite South Africa being docked three points, Nigeria still failed to qualify.

[Sam The Challenger @MohauSam]

People under this quote blaming the victim 😭

So we have normalised that people can literally go through our bags and there will be no consequences?

South Africa has 17,450 empty teacher posts.

Not 17,450 teachers who couldn't be found.

17,450 posts that simply weren't filled.

Here's what makes it worse.

The Department of Basic Education's own National Recruitment Database has 12,700 qualified, unemployed educators actively looking for work right now. Trained teachers. Ready to teach. Sitting at home.

So this isn't a skills shortage. It's a system failure.

While those posts sit empty, South African learners are paying the price. Over 50% of primary school children are taught in classes of more than 40 pupils. Some Gauteng classrooms have 60 to 70 learners per teacher. KwaZulu-Natal averages 39 learners per teacher. These aren't schools.

They're holding pens.

The remaining teachers aren't doing fine either. Research from Stellenbosch University found that 44% of Grade R to Grade 12 teachers feel burned out "always or very often." Nearly half are considering leaving the profession within the next decade. And over 30,000 already left in just five years.

The pipeline is ageing too.

About 49% of current public school teachers are 50 or older. Retirement is coming. Fast.
We keep asking why matric results are what they are. Why Grade 4 learners can't read.

Why the system underperforms year after year.

The answer is standing right in front of us.

You can't build human capital in a classroom with 70 kids and one exhausted teacher.
