MTBPS | Mixed reactions to Godongwana's MTBPS as opposition parties slam government's lack of ideas

Parties criticised Godongwana's budget announcements, accusing government of failing to provide clear solutions to the country's fiscal challenges.

Shivambu said the ANC-led government's inability to expand the revenue base was due to its failed economic policies, which, he said, have stifled economic growth and job creation. “With all the challenges that we are facing, we think that he struck the right balance in terms of the challenges that we are facing,” he added. IFP MP Inkosi Mzamo Buthelezi said Godongwana’s address to Parliament did not inspire confidence among South Africans over the future of the country’s finances.We really are not happy as the IFP. Our debt remains very high, and the costs to service that debt remain high. The public wage bill remains very high, and our revenue collection is very poor.
