The paper investigated education capture and the interference of teacher unions in schools by their involvement in the corruption of selling teacher posts. Qualitative approach, an interpretive paradigm and capture theory of regulation were used in understanding the phenomenon of education capture. Methods used in gathering information consist of a literature review and document analysis. In addition, the final report of 16 May 2016 of the Ministerial Task Team appointed by the Minister of Basic Education to investigate allegations into the selling of posts of educators by members of teachers' unions and departmental officials in provincial education departments was also used as a source in investigating education capture.
