NELSPRUIT – The launch of the University of Mpumalanga cost the provincial department R4 million. This was according to Mr Madala Masuku, MEC for finance, during his adjustment budget speech on Tuesday.
He said the allocated funds were based on estimates and it was too soon to know how each cent was spent. He said money was spent on transporting people to the event.
The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) also visited the Lowveld last week for the two-day event. It included the announcement of the architects who would design the province’s first university and have an imbizo as well as the official sod-turning ceremony.
