The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal says it has referred unverified allegations of selling teaching posts and “sex-for-jobs” conduct to South Africa’s Hawks. The party says its referral comes after the provincial Department of Education allegedly failed to respond to questions and provide details about an investigation it had announced.
According to the DA, the claims involve the alleged awarding or sale of teaching positions and, in some allegations, sexual favours in exchange for employment opportunities. The reports describe the DA as seeking clarity on the scope and status of the education department’s probe, and as requesting answers before the matter is escalated to law-enforcement.
While all accounts focus on the DA’s action and the alleged misconduct, they do not provide confirmed findings, names, or investigative outcomes. The outlets describe the allegations as unverified and frame the Hawks referral as a mechanism for further scrutiny, rather than as an established fact about wrongdoing in the education sector.
