BTU castigates Tshireletso over transfer remarks

Describing the assistant minister's remarks as unfortunate and not responsible for her new portfolio, BTU secretary general Keorapetse Kgasa adviced Tshireletso to have an open door policy so that teachers can approach her with their concerns instead of just calling them in for punitive action.

Kgasa was responding to comments made by Tshireletso concerning the shortage of staff at a primary school in Kgope village, Kweneng District, where she was addressing a kgotla meeting. "We urge her to call all those teachers whose names she is requesting and listen to the reasons they advanced in the transfer matter so that she can be the judge of whether they are not genuine," Kgasa said.
