Councillors protest Sesana’s salary

The government has directed the GDC to create a post for Sesana.

This is in regard to their requests for provision of services and establishment of income generating projects within the game reserve.

During the recent GDC full meeting, council chairperson Thato Tshweneyagae, revealed Sesana’s employment, provoking a heated debate over his salary, the majority showing dissaproval over the low pay. The councillors said the government should respect and honour Sesana who is a family man, by paying him a better salary together with his committee members. Sesana’s contract, pegged at P3,800 per month, runs for a period of three years.
