Abstract
The purpose of the study was to explore the role of principals in the establishment and sustenance
of teamwork within their schools. It is hoped that the study will contribute in understanding the
challenges the principals experienced in developing teamwork, and how they dealt with those
challenges. The study was located in the interpretive paradigm. This paradigm provides
understanding of how people make sense of the contexts in which they live and work.
The study used a qualitative research design, and a case study was adopted as the methodology.
Semi-structured interviews were used as the main method for data generation. For this study,
purposive sampling was chosen. The study was conducted in the public primary schools in the
eThekwini region of Pinetown District. The research participants sampled comprised of three
principals of which two are males and one female. The key findings indicate that where
teamwork exists stakeholders are likely to learn to work with each other, share ideas, and bring
about organisational effectiveness.
