Estcourt business sector and communities to give budget tips to MEC Scott
The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Finance, Belinda Scott, will on Friday, 12 December 2014, host a business breakfast meeting with an aim of engaging and listening to the views of the business sector of the uMtshezi Municipality in Estcourt and surrounding areas, on what they would like to see in the next year (2015/16) budget allocations.
This consultation will culminate in a community meeting at KwaMshayazafe Community Hall in Ward 09 where the uMtshezi Municipality Mayor, Cllr Bongani Dlamini will accompany the MEC when interacting with people to get more insight on their needs as the province prepares for the next year budget.
Estcourt communities and business sector are encouraged to participate and to give tips to MEC Scott at this road-show which is aimed at communicating the planned budget allocations, educate and empower communities so that they can make informed contribution in the shaping of the provincial budget.
This process is also in line with the provincial government’s initiative to encourage public participation in the provincial budget allocations and to promote transparency as well as encouraging the culture of saving during the festive season.
