Mini-Budget – Good and Bad

Cost-cutting measures for bulging public sector wage bill Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has outlined a raft of cost-cutting measures that will see government save billions of rands in the public sector wage bill.

The interventions will see the axe fall on various perks and salary increments frozen and later cut. As a first step, he said, the National Treasury has identified spending reductions of R21 billion …

Mboweni allows a debt blowout

Dear MyPE Finance Minister Tito Mboweni today revealed the true horror of our nation’s precarious financial situation. We acknowledge his honesty that things are worse than imagined.

But the Minister’s number one priority in this speech was to present a credible plan to control national debt and rein in the deficit. The fact is that he did not do this. For all the tough talk, the Minister’s bark was worse than his bite. The spending cuts he did announce - roughly R50 …

Tito’s Medium Term Budget and the Aloe Ferox

The Aloe Ferox is a hardy South Africa succulent that Tito Mboweni presented to President Cyril Ramaphosa in May 2019 and used again during his mini-budget speech in Parliament today to explain the present situation in South Africa saying that we should turn back to 'our brothers and sisters in Africa'. The cynics in SA will say that the Aloe Ferox also represents all that is bad in politics today - slow growing, prickly, sour, inward focus and not sexy enough to attract much investment. The real question is; "Did Cyril really look after his Aloe Ferox and make it grow or did he consign …

Automotive Industry – It is All About The Numbers

At the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) breakfast seminar yesterday I got to wondering just how difficult a job Weza Moss and colleagues were facing in growing and keeping automotive manufacturers happy and in South Africa. With the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in full swing the competition to provide more stuff at lower prices is immense. 4IR is based on the use of cyber physical systems and combines IT + Commerce + AI to automate many jobs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) then makes use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain for verification. The hard and fast …
