Minister Zulu to table the DSD Budget Vote 17 before Parliament
Newly appointed Minister of Social Development, Ms Lindiwe Zulu, will table the Department of Social Development’s Budget Vote before Parliament on Thursday, 11 July 2019.
The Budget Vote Speech is a national Parliamentary requisite for all government departments to present departmental plans and budget allocations of the year.
