Former local police officers in the lurch

The director in the Department of Tribal Administration, Nametsegang Sekwati, says the reason is that the posts they are holding do not attract such allowances and that unlike salaries, "allowances are not a personal right".

Sekwati says this change in job descriptions have been sent to all districts so that all Assistant/Court Bailiffs understand their new responsibilities. The new court bailiffs have not been inducted. "This is because our recruitment is still going on," she says.
