KZN Premier inauguration gets underway

The KwaZulu-Natal Premier's inauguration ceremony has been toned down, to cut costs and only invited guests and the media will be present.

Sihle Zikalala will take his oath of office this morning at the Premier's official Parkside residence.  

Cecil Msomi, who's with the provincial government, says he'll also announce the names of his 10 member executive council.

"The premier will take the national salute. He will thereafter come back to take the oath - followed by the singing of the national anthem. He will then deliver his speech. He will announce his Cabinet - what we call the Executive Council."

Msomi says this will be followed by the swearing in of the members of the executive.
