Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has tough choices ahead of his budget speech.
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will deliver his budget speech on Wednesday, but has some tough choices to make.
His original speech was postponed after Godongwana received backlash from parties with the government of national unity (GNU) about the proposed 2% VAT hike.
While many have called government spending to be reduced, the finance minister has stated that no VAT increase will be necessary if he is allowed to scrap the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
