“Generally because you have seen a rising inflation rate it will have an impact on poorer nations, but in the case of South Africa we have been prudent fiscally over the past few years. We don’t have that much challenge and anticipate reaching a budget surplus within the next 10 years.”

Deal with service delivery or face instability and desperate people, Godongwana warns | Fin24Just over a year after a wave of violent unrest swept through KZN & Gauteng, Minister Godongwana has warned that the continued decay of service delivery by local government is a fertile breeding ground for economic strife and future instability in SA.
