Limpopo Premier Dr Ramathuba demands Limpopo municipalities cut reliance on consultants, spending R280 million annually.
Limpopo premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba has had enough of the huge expenditure by government departments in the province on consultants – and has given struggling municipalities until the next financial year to put their houses in order or face the consequences of turning a deaf ear to her advisors and the auditor-general .

“They got employed there and lived there with their spouses and children. But now we want them back home,” she said.provincial chair Stan Mathabatha told mayors, managers, speakers, chief whips and ward councillors to minimise, or stop the use of consultants in favour of in-house service.
