IDC FINALLY SETTLES WITH NW VILLAGERS
The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) rejected a lobby from the late North West cooperative governance, human settlements and traditional affairs MEC Gordon Kegakilwe to block the release of developmental funds belonging to the Bakubung Ba Ratheo community, saying it would abide by the decision of the court on the matter.
A high court decision in June broke a 10-year-long deadlock between the IDC and the community, and ruled that R119 million worth of funds that could be invested in local development be released.
