Teacher in Northern Cape wins R200,000 for unpaid acting allowance.
The Northern Cape Department of Education has been ordered to pay a teacher more than R200,000 in outstanding acting allowances after the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) found no justification for delaying payment.
ELRC panellist Zoliswa Taba ordered the department to pay Amor Jacobs over R200,000 for acting as a principal between February 2025 and the end of March 2026.
When Jacobs referred the matter to the ELRC, the parties were no longer disputing whether Jacobs was entitled to the money or how much she was owed.
Instead, the only remaining issue was when the department should make the payment.
