MEDIA STATEMENT
SGB FEDERATION CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED NSNP FOOD THEFT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
11 August 2026

The SGB Federation in Limpopo has raised serious concerns regarding allegations of the unauthorised removal and possible theft of National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) food at Serokoloana Primary School.

The allegations reportedly involve members of the School Governing Body and school Principal. The Federation has formally opened a criminal case with the Janefurse police station, called for the matter to be investigated and for the principal who allegedly has a romantic relationship with senior officials at the district to face appropriate disciplinary and criminal action.

The Federation condemns any misuse of resources intended for learners and calls on the Department of Education and SAPS to ensure that the matter is investigated fairly, independently and without fear or favour.
“Food provided for learners must reach learners. Those entrusted with school resources must be held accountable where wrongdoing is established.”

The Federation will cooperate with law-enforcement authorities and provide any information or evidence in its possession.

SGBs are not full-time in schools, they are not being paid to perform their functions. They are however professionals in their own rights who have lives outside the SGB.

For a government official to demand that they attend his meetings, giving less than 48 hours, while they must travel to a different school using their tight budget ke bogafa bja mafelelo.

Governors must respect themselves and call out against this S***m practice

Friends of Maponya M.E must advise him to refund every cent he collected from the learners.
2. Assist him to make a formal application to the HOD to charge school fees.
3. Once approved charge the learners.

This is daylight robbery and the denial of Education. Black children are suffering in the hands of Maponya ME and the poor will be embarrassed.

Bofa teki Maponya we are coming

MEDIA STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The SGB Federation in Limpopo strongly condemns the implementation and interpretation of provisions under the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (BELA Act) which impose excessive and unrealistic responsibilities on teachers regarding pregnant learners. While we fully support the constitutional right of every learner to access education, we reject any policy that shifts parental, healthcare, and social welfare duties onto educators without proper capacity, training, or resources.

The Act, as currently applied, effectively forces teachers to act as social workers, healthcare coordinators, and law enforcement reporters, exposing them to legal risk and emotional strain. Schools are now expected to monitor pregnancies, prevent stigma, coordinate with health services, and report sensitive cases—functions that fall outside the professional scope of educators and the mandate of School Governing Bodies.

This approach is impractical, especially in under-resourced rural schools, and will inevitably compromise teaching and learning. It places already overburdened teachers under further pressure, leading to burnout, administrative overload, and a decline in educational outcomes.

The SGB Federation therefore calls on the Department of Basic Education to urgently review and suspend the current implementation framework, deploy qualified social and health professionals to schools, and engage stakeholders meaningfully before enforcing such provisions.

We maintain that teachers are educators, not surrogate parents or healthcare providers, and we will pursue all lawful measures to protect their professional dignity and the integrity of the education system.

Primary school teachers celebrate after the Department of Education passes new Bela Act to protect pregnant learners…

Oh I feel so sorry for South African teachers sana ,

There’s now a new act passed to protect pregnant learners in School and places a lot of pressure on teachers to further take care and protect such Learners.

-The Bela act states pregnant learners have the right to education meaning they should not be deprived their right to education by either being expelled or shown any form of rejection by both teachers and learners…

-Where a student is under the age of 16 the duty to report both to the police and social workers is placed on the school teachers.

-Teachers need to ensure that the other learners or any other teachers in school are making fun of the said pregnant learner..

-The responsibility to ensure the pregnant learner gets everything required by pregnant women is also placed on the teacher ,they need to ensure all is well during and after pregnancy 👀

-Teachers are to work hand in hand with the department of health to ensure the pregnant learners safety 🥺

Yhooo kuningi guys but this was drafted to decrease the number of pregnant learners dropping out of school because they get mistreated or bu.l.ied by other learners ….
