Will the President keep on playing the fiddle while Rome is burning? Make no mistake, this is SA’s last chance not to fall into a spiral of fiscal debt which is already out of hand. Crippling state debt due to SOE bailouts and bloated wages has drained the coffers. The last pot of gold is the savers of SA. And this includes pensions. Prescribed assets for pensions may be next, including government employee pensions. Savers beware, the politicians are coming for your money.
Always controversial with his own unique insight, join leading SA economist Dawie Roodt for his post 2020 Budget analysis.
Entry fee R50 per person CASH ONLY at door – for cheese, wine, challenging intellectual debate and scintillating company! Media free
