Hill-Lewis opposes the rescue plan, calling on Mboweni to fight back, “dig in his heels” and refuse to fund the bailout.
“SA needs a finance minister who will stand firm against political pressure and hold the line,” said Hill-Lewis. Hill-Lewis said this was a “critical moment” for Mboweni, who has previously said government should not and would not bail out SAA again. “SA can't afford to have a lame duck minister who has ceded control of Treasury and is unable to lead the country on a path of economic reform,” he said.
Mr Tito you said no more bail outs. What is this Christmas box?
SAA is a lame duck indeed.
