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. I then asked them to pull up the lease agreement, and the lease expires at the end of July. I instructed the staff not to proceed with the renewal of the lease and notify the landlord that we won't be paying R1 million a year for that building. One office is enough for me.
