Govt, agric employees cease fire

Employees of the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Food Security and their employer have taken a decision to settle their dispute out of court.

The parties this week reached an agreement to settle in respect of the issue regarding, amongst other things basic salary arrears, allowances and leave days as the government promised to pay all what the employees claimed against them. The two parties signed a settlement agreement before Lobatse High Court on May 18, 2018 to relinquish any rights of pursuing any civil suit against each other.

“In consideration of provisions agreed upon, the parties hereby waive, release and relinquish all their respective rights and interests and undertake that neither one of them shall henceforth bring, lodge or pursue any civil claim against the other on the same matter,” reads the agreement. The agreement follows a lawsuit that was instituted by the employees mostly who where promoted in various years but were never paid salary arrears and allowances.
