KZN TREASURY MEDIA STATEMENT 10 DECEMBER 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KZN GPU SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHES PROVINCIAL FINANCIAL RECOVERY PLAN

These plans will be in line with value-for-money principles, ensure prudent management of financial resources and clearly define measures to reduce corruption in supply chain management processes amongst others.

MEC Rodgers added: “Where there’s no compliance, there has to be consequence management.” Provincial government departments will be expected to launch their own financial recovery plans over the course of next year.

Premier Ntuli asserted: “We will introduce structured institutional capacity-building programmes to ensure that every official, at every level, is equipped with the skills, tools, and systems required to implement the reforms we are announcing today.”

“Our focus remains on the frontline departments of Education, Health and Social Development. These are at the coal face of service delivery. Ensuring their optimal function forms part of our vision to develop a capable and ethical state.”

These fiscal pressures aMEC Rodgers said: “The PFRP provides a clear roadmap on how the GPU will reduce the debt burden on the KZN fiscus without compromising service delivery.”

The PFRP is a direct response to a myriad of fiscal challenges faced by the KZN Government of Provincial Unity (GPU). It is a matter of public record that the GPU inherited R10 billion of debt to suppliers. KZN entered the 2024/25 financial year with accruals amounting R9,5 bln.

The PFRP aims to deliver R1,5 billion annual savings through tighter cost-containment, improved efficiency, and smarter allocation of resources. Premier Ntuli said: “Where waste exists, it will be eliminated. Where processes are inefficient, they will be reformed”. .

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) MEC for Finance, Mr. Francois Rodgers, has today joined the Premier of KZN, Mr. Thami Ntuli, during the launch of the Provincial Financial Recovery Plan (PFRP) in Durban.

I wish to take this moment to wish every matric pupil in KZN all best as they commence with the final examinations of their high school career today. Last week, I had the opportunity to spend some time with the class of 2025 at Franklin Secondary School in my hometown of Kokstad

Happy Diwali! May the festival of lights bring happiness, peace, and prosperity to your home and to our beautiful KZN. As the diyas are lit, they remind us of the power of good over evil and light over darkness—a timeless message of hope that guides us forward.
