Mboweni was the one on the podium, but this budget was approved by President Cyril Ramaphosa and his cabinet.
Read a new edition online every FridayAnother clear message that Ramaphosa's government sent with this budget, is that corruption will no longer be tolerated and that state capturers will be prosecuted. A massive R2.4bn has been allocated to the NPA, the Hawks and the Special Investigations Unit.
This means that about 800 investigators and 277 state prosecutors can be appointed to look after cases such as those following from the Zondo commission, Mboweni said. In October last year, Mboweni allocated an extra R64m to the prosecuting authority in his medium-term budget. The RET faction in the ANC will sing in the same choir with the trade unions and EFF that Mboweni has sold out to WMC and neo-liberals, but it was these factions that got us in our current mess under Jacob Zuma's reign in the first place.
