State curbs spending on Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini: Refurbishments of the eight royal palaces and the acquisition of a vehicle for one of the queens will be put on ice
Refurbishments of the eight royal palaces and the acquisition of a vehicle for one of the queens will be put on ice until possibly the mid-term adjustment later in the year, and this too is likely to depend on whether the province’s financial position improves or not.
“We need to do a proper and thorough analysis on the state of palaces before determining how much needs to be spent on them,” said Shezi. Part of the budget adjustments included halting the construction of a government and legislature precinct, which she said was a bitter pill to swallow as landlords continue milking the provincial government on rent.
“I have sent a transversal question to government, asking each government what they were doing in relation to the royal household and how much they were paying for such activity. This will provide a clear picture of what is really happening,” said Mncwango.
