In a statement issued on Tuesday, KwaZulu-Natal MEC for economic development, tourism and environmental affairs, Nomusa Dube-Ncube, said she had informed the provincial portfolio committee on conservation and environmental affairs about the suspension. Dube-Ncube said the decision was taken after a “robust and honest reflection” on the entity's financial affairs in April during a budget hearing and presentation of the annual performance plan, and with a view to ensure the stability of the conservation body, which had been further financially challenged by the Covid-19 pandemic.
