Description

BizNews founder Alec Hogg unpacks the Medium-Term Budget’s surprisingly upbeat message. With the Government of National Unity presenting a unified front, Treasury reported a R20 billion revenue overrun, a narrowing deficit, and no need for a VAT increase. SARS’ new AI-driven systems are delivering results, Eskom’s reliability is improving, and even Transnet is showing early signs of recovery — proof that South Africa’s finances may finally be turning the corner.
