The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Social Development, Ms Mbali Shinga, is undertaking a working visit to the Zululand District today, participating in two important engagements aimed at strengthening community participation in government and providing support to families affected by tragedy.

The MEC is beginning her programme by participating in a Community Budget Dialogue, where residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to engage directly with government and contribute towards the department's upcoming provincial budget. The dialogue forms part of the department's commitment to ensuring that communities have a meaningful voice in shaping government priorities and that the budget continues to respond to the needs and aspirations of the people.

The MEC is thereafter travelling to eMahhashini in the Nongoma Local Municipality to visit the family of a 64-year-old woman who was tragically killed, allegedly by her son. The visit is intended to offer comfort and support to the bereaved family while reaffirming government's unwavering commitment to confronting gender-based violence and all forms of violence that continue to devastate families and communities.
