Make It Make Sense With Ayanda Nyathi - The 2025 Budget Speech: What To Pay Attention

Loading player...
The 2025 Budget speech will take place this Wednesday at 19:00, where The Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana, will outline all the financial, economic, and social commitments that the government will prioritize in its planned expenditure. As everyday South Africans, we know that this speech is important to our lives, but the speech can feel like a complicated maze of numbers, and economic terms. All we want to know, is how the numbers affect our daily lives and our wallets. Why should South Africans care about the budget speech, and which aspects of the speech/decisions have a direct impact on our wallets? Kaya Biz anchor Gugulethu Mfuphi helps us to make sense of it all.
