Dikgosi call for tighter Ipelegeng supervision

Debating a motion calling for government to cease Ipelegeng programme yesterday, dikgosi  told Assistant Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Botlogile Tshireletso that there is need to tighten supervision of workers.

“The programme is encouraging laziness to most of our youth because they do not want to work rather some prefer Ipelegeng.  This is because people work for only a few hours and they get free magwinya and tea.  We are encouraging the spirit of dependency, which we cannot sustain going forward,” the mover of the motion, Kgosi Galeakanye Modise of Tswapong region said.
