Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether the money used in respect of the more than R99 million worth of fertilizer that was due to be handed over at an event in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, will be considered as wasteful expenditure since the event was cancelled; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
No. There was no wasteful expenditure as the event was not cancelled, but postponed to the following week. More than 116 415 bags of 50kg each were already distributed and used by the small-scale growers.
