Newly-appointed Northern Cape MEC for agriculture, environmental affairs, land reform and rural development, Mase Manopole, presented the budget speech for the two merging departments. Her speech follows just two weeks after she was appointed into her new portfolio.
In the combined portfolio, Manopole will look at, among others, conserving and protecting the natural environment and championing land and agrarian transformation. She joined Food For Mzansi editor Dawn Noemdoe moments after her budget speech.
