Sinvula

WATCH: In a significant victory for traditional leadership, Maun High Court last Friday ordered government to upgrade the salary scale of Basubiya Chief, Kgosi Lawrence Liswani Sinvula, to E2 bracket and pay him three years' worth of backdated salary. Delivering the judgment, Court President Justice Godfrey Nthomiwa dismissed the State’s technical objections, ruling that the Ministry of Local Government and Traditional Affairs had acted unlawfully by keeping the tribal leader on a lower D2 pay scale despite his promotion back in 2023.
