The finance minister says Busisiwe Mkhwebane's findings against the Treasury's director-general are irrational and damaging to the Treasury

The conviction related to an admission of guilt fine that Mogajane paid in relation to a traffic infraction - for driving over the speed limit - in 2011. Mboweni's application is the latest court action against Mkhwebane, who has come under fire for undermining the credibility of the Chapter 9 institution, which is meant to guard democracy and fight corruption.

Mboweni has challenged Mkhwebane's findings on the basis that they are arbitrary and irrational, arguing that she failed to have due regard for relevant facts and instead considered irrelevant facts. "This is untenable and undermines the very fabric of SA’s constitutional democracy. In this regard, National Treasury has a material interest in correcting this state of affairs," Mboweni says in his affidavit.

A principled incumbent of a position of trust such as that of the PP would have immediately resigned at the first instance of a finding being taken on review, and then waited for the judicial outcome before resuming the post (assuming that the finding supported them). integrity

This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Traffic fine?🙄

Tito and the fourth industrial revolutionFinance Minister Tito Mboweni has hinted that SA will need to adapt to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and that this will inform some of the decisions taken in the Budget. Fin24 4IR means automation, ie self-driving cars, buses, trucks; automated mining; less labour at call centers; etc. A country with high unemployment (particularly among the youth); has a “demographic dividend” should not be trumpeting the arrival of 4IR. It’s really sad to behold 🤦🏿‍♂️ Fin24 Our government is not ready for this, still applying ancient policies and operational processes. Fin24 Generation of electricity was part of the 2nd industrial revolution. We did not even achieve this fully via our Eskom. Why are we then so preoccupied with the 4th industrial revolution?😢
