The office closure is expected to save the province over R1 million as, Rodgers said it made no sense to have two offices for the same department.

"I was informed that the MEC has two offices, one in Durban and one in Pietermaritzburg, which really doesn't make sense. I can't understand why an MEC needs to have two offices.
