Due in part to some seemingly poor accounting and a poor international donor relationship, KMA's network donor system as failed to supply funding this year. It has actually been a problem since late last year. Though Palesa and Nthabileng were aware of this when they first came on board with KMA, their patience and understanding is running thin. It's still longer than I would last but I must constantly check myself when we talk about the issue. I come from a country where I could find another paying job if I get dissatisfied. People leave their job all the time just because they are bored, tired, or whatever other whim flites past their mind. That luxury does not exist here.
That is why the Boss of KMA asking everybody to make a trip to Maseru next week for a staff meeting has left everyone in a bad mood. No one has any money. Palesa's child has been removed from school because she can not pay his school fees. Everybody is hurting and Ntate Moahloli is asking for them to pay R60 to get to Maseru, an expensive city on even a paid Basotho's wallet.
I'm sure glad I'm getting out of dodge for the week and away from the frustration. That and my water tap is broken. Semonkong is falling apart!!
