Ipelegeng employees rue e-wallet payment

The council took the decision after they ran out of funds for service fees at the BotswanaPost, which used to disburse payments to hundreds of employees under the programme in the town.

In a heated argument on the issue during a recent LTC meeting, councillors, both from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) said the move was ill informed and people were not consulted. However, the council continued to implement the initiative.
