You will receive a link to create a new password via email.One of the first things Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi did after taking the reins was to deploy MEC Mbali Hlophe to run the merged departments of Social Development and Agriculture Rural Development and Environment .

“We made an allocation of R2.3 billion in the previous financial year on the NPO sector, which is a substantial amount, when you consider that a national entity such as the National Lottery only spends a billion. Western Cape is the second highest province, and it too is at a billion, although this has since been brought down to below a billion. It is followed by KwaZulu-Natal, which spent R600 million, while all others spent below R500 million,” said Hlophe.
