Gov't struggling to pay DVS officers P43m debt

The Minister of Human Settlements and Water, Onneetse Ramogapi, told Parliament that the debt is one of those inherited from the previous administration, in which the government owes public servants money for various allowances.

Responding to a question in Parliament recently, Ramogapi, who was standing in for the Acting Minister of Lands and Agriculture, Dr Edwin Dikoloti, said that whilst debts were inherited from the previous administration, the ministry is committed to honouring its debt obligations; however, liquidity challenges have become a stumbling block.
