Finance MEC Ravi Pillay explained that the renovations would be accommodated when the provincial budget was adjusted later this year.
Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal government insists that renovations at the eight palaces belonging to King Goodwill Zwelithini will still go ahead, despite money not being allocated during its first round of budget allocations.
Pillay told Independent Media on Sunday that the fact that no money was allocated for the king’s palaces did not imply that they would not be revamped at all. Acting spokesperson for the Zulu royal house Prince Mbonisi Zulu said the matter of the palaces was being discussed by the king and Premier Sihle Zikalala.
