Veteran public servant calls it a day

In an interview with Mmegi over the weekend, Ditau told of how he started working for Selebi-Phikwe Town Council (SPTC) in 1978 as a labourer. He was later promoted to a spray man in 1985. On account of his diligent work, Ditau was promoted into group two scale, which according to him was a higher scale that was used to pay drivers.

When he was hired, he was stationed at the Anne Adams Park.  In 1986, he was elevated to the position of a team leader, as his supervisors were impressed with his conduct and work."I was then transferred from the nursery department to vegetation control in 2002 and worked there for a year. In 2005 we went to do landscaping at Boipelego Clinic in Serowe," he said.
