Background

Opposition party ActionSA voices disappointment in SA’s Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s budget speech, labeling it as uninspiring and reflective of the ANC’s misguided spending priorities. The party expresses particular concern over the decision to shift 150 billion rand from the South African Reserve Bank’s Gold and Foreign Exchange Contingency Reserve Account, aimed at improving the country’s fiscal prospects. ActionSA President Herman Mashaba asserts that the ANC has exhausted options after decades of mismanagement and poor economic growth.
