Bobirwa Council Under Fire For Corruption

Workers cheered when one them, Mooketsi Potedi presented copies of a circular which he said proved that the council is irregularly recruiting staff. The worker said nepotism has now turned the council into a family business. He said that it started last year with a circular seeking the services of two light duty drivers for Tsetsebjwe and Lentswe Le Moriti. However the council subsequently recruited four drivers.

The fuming Potedi wanted to know where the money used to pay the extra drivers, who were not included in the circular is coming from. He said that in another incident, a circular advertising openings for two sanitation officers for Bobonong and Moletemane resulted in over-recruitment. He condemned the removal of circulars from the notice boards before deadlines. He said that about a week after the removal of the circulars, new officers would be employed under unclear circumstances.
