Teachers union Sadtu has threatened to obtain an interdict to prevent the release of a damning report on a jobs-for-cash scandal.
Sadtu members were reportedly implicated in the sale of teacher and principal posts.
Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga, was expected to release the final report of the investigation in April but the release has been delayed.
Sadtu union says it has advised members who are implicated but did not have a chance to respond to the allegations, to seek legal advice.
Sadtu's Sindisile Zamisa says the national office will be seeking an interdict to stop the report's release. He added that legal action could also follow against Motshekga and the man who led the probe, Professor John Volmink.
In December‚ Motshekga presented some of the findings of the interim report prepared by the task team.
The interim report stated that there was corruption and undue influence in the appointment of teachers and principals‚ and that government systems to safeguard appointments were weak. That created a situation where‚ in some provinces‚ unions were running the education departments.
