GOVERNMENT TO DIRECTLY HIRE SECURITY GUARDS INSTEAD OF PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES
When responding to members of Parliament after his presentation on the National Development Plan 12 Public Investment Programme, Honourable Major General Pius Mokgware said the government is stopping giving contracts to Private Security Companies and start hiring Security Guards directly. He said this decision comes after many cases of Private Security Companies violating labour laws and delaying payments of security guards. He further said all security guards will earn a minimum wage of P4000.00.
