Deputy President Mashatile to meet with Minister McKenzie

Deputy President Paul Mashatile will on Thursday, 22 August 2024, as part of his delegated responsibility of promoting social cohesion and nation-building initiatives in the country, convene a meeting with the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Mr Gayton McKenzie at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
