Please join us face-to-face as we tackle the 2024 budget speech by South Africa's (SA) Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana. This roundtable discussion will be led by UCT GSB's Professor Sean Gossel. This will be the first time, since Covid-19, that the SA budget speech discussion will take place in-person at the UCT GSB.
The discussion will cover the implications of Godongwana's budget policy statement, which comes during a persistent national energy crisis (loadshedding), rising interest rates, economic stagnation, and upcoming national elections. What we want to know is: Will this budget be a u-turn on fiscal consolidation, a cul-de-sac of impossible political promises (especially ahead of the national elections), a detour into disastrous populism, or a steady drive to economic reform?
