Why is it almost impossible to find a teaching job in South Africa when there is a shortage of teachers? ?

I have a degree in Languages from the University of Stellenbosch and over 6 years teaching experience, but I can't find a teaching job in South Africa. I am currently doing my teaching diploma through UNISA and was accepted by SACE. Who can one contact to address this issue. Read this interesting Afrikaans article, here http://152.111.1.251/argief/berigte/dieburger/2008/11/08/SK/11/mdwOnderwys.html

maximum schools won't hire all people who has no longer finished their degree. which potential, completely finished, no longer in straightforward terms engaged on it. And, what form of certification do you have? No college around here could hire any instructor who grow to be no longer thoroughly qualified in our state, or qualified to be qualified, consisting of winding up all their pupil coaching. and, the words "on line" college deliver up a pink flag for many people who're doing hiring. some on line faculties are scams, or perhaps those that are thoroughly valid are suspected of producing pupils who have not extremely achieved the paintings they declare. So, lots of people who do hiring, could prefer, in the event that they had a call, to hire somebody who had finished their degree, or atl least extremely some path, at a school that grow to be no longer "on line" no longer all college districts are wanting instructors. and not all college districts are wanting Spanish instructors. there are various hispanics in the U. S. who can coach Spanish so I dont think of that distinctive concern is in short grant.... in case you have been in a different concern area, say physics or math, which would be different.
