Political parties have had mixed reactions to finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s medium-term budget policy statement.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) says the minister failed to announce policy interventions that would have resulted in economic growth and jobs and alleviated the plight of the most vulnerable.
The minister delivered the Medium Term Budget Policy statement yesterday.
The party’s Dion George, says instead of extending bailouts the minister could have easily announced an expansion of the zero-rated food basket as proposed by the DA.
