The presidential inauguration will cost over R100-million less than former president Jacob Zuma’s inauguration in 2014.
Minister in the Presidency Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma briefed journalists on the inauguration scheduled to take place at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria on May 25.
Dlamini-Zuma said the move to shift the inauguration from the Union Buildings to the stadium was a cost-cutting measure in addition to making the event more accessible to ordinary South Africans. However, she said the cost would be over R100-million less than the R240-million government shelled out on the last inauguration.
