Female teachers encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle
SADTU is encouraging teachers to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Kwa-Thema – Female SADTU members celebrated Women’s Month by taking up a healthy lifestyle challenge.
The event started with a 5km fun run/walk and continued to the Kwa-Thema Community Hall where they participated in an aerobics marathon.
This was followed by motivational talks from health practitioners under the theme ‘women and health matters’.
The Springs branch convener, Nomzi Gumede said they decided to use the month to encourage female teachers to take charge of their health.
“Teachers spend most of their time in school and are even forced to take work home which means they don’t have enough time to rest and focus on their wellbeing.
“We need healthy teachers in our classes who will be able to be in class as expected,” she added.
