MBOMBELA: MEC Sikhumbuzo Kholwane has reassured the people of Mpumalanga that the provincial government will continue to prioritize its spending on provision of service delivery in the next financial year.
“The current economic climate and challenges impels the provincial government to continue with its cost curtailment measure aimed at improving the provision of basic service delivery to our people”
