7: Unpaid and Underqualified

In this eye-opening episode, host Bulelani Marwanqana explores the often-overlooked reality of unpaid and underqualified teachers who are holding classrooms together across South Africa.


From rural townships to under-resourced urban schools, thousands of passionate individuals are stepping into teaching roles without contracts, without pay, and often without the necessary training—yet they remain committed to educating our youth.


Tune in as we unpack:


* Who these teachers are and why they teach

* The systemic issues that lead to this crisis

* Firsthand stories of dedication, struggle, and sacrifice

* What this means for learners, schools, and the future of education

* Bold ideas for policy reform and recognition


This is a powerful episode that challenges us to rethink who we consider a “real” teacher—and what kind of education system we are building when some of its builders go unpaid and unseen.


Press play to hear the full conversation—and share this with someone who believes in fair, inclusive education.
