Gana, a Deputy Federal Chairperson of Democratic Alliance, made this disclosure in at an anti-xenophobia rally, held at Constitution Hill. South African newspaper, City Press, reported that Gana advised that rather than get angry and take the anger out on foreigners, South African men should “provide” properly for women, rather than lash out at non-nationals for “stealing” women away. Gana urged the crowd at the rally to spread the message of not taking part in xenophobic attacks to “our wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, makhwaphenis (secret lovers), neighbours and brothers”. “If you can’t speak to a girl, now all of a sudden a man that comes from Zimbabwe or Nigeria that can speak to a girl now must be killed.

Non-Payment Of Salaries: Aregbesola Urges Labour Leaders To Suggest Ways Of Raising Money

Image
Following agitations by civil servants in Osun State over the non-payment of salaries, the State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has challenged labour leaders in the state to suggest how his administration could generate more funds to meet its obligations. It will be recalled that the All Progressives Congress in the State in December, 2014 had said the allocation accruing to the state had fallen from N3.8bn per month to N1.3bn. The labour leaders have however said the government should consider the re-introduction of PTA back to schools to be able to raise little money considering that the people of Osun have been enjoying free healthcare, free education coupled with free meal for the students. They also recommended that the governor should prioritise capital projects   and complete them in phases. Also a review of some laws which stipulate fines of as low as N20 or N50 as punishment for non-payment of some taxes should be considered. They also advised the governmen...

Governor Rauf Aregbesola had set up a committee to work out how to implement the review of this policy. The nine-member committee, which is also working on the review of the state’s free health programme for children and the elderly, may recommend that parents be made to pay a little levy for each  child in  school. The committee comprises permanent secretaries in the state and a Level 17 officer, who is a director. Labour leaders in the state recommended the review of the free feeding policy alongside others to save money for payment of salaries of civil servants and to carry out developmental projects. The Aregbesola government has, for almost six months, been unable to pay workers salaries, a development it blames on dwindling allocation from the Federal Government. Deputy Governor, Titi Laoye-Tomori, had said ...
