Budget Speech 2020: SA’s economy expected to grow by 0.9% this year

JOHANNESBURG – Finance Minister Tito Mboweni again began his national budget speech in Parliament by referencing his Aloe Ferox plant, saying that it survives and strives when times are tough. 

Mboweni, who was delivering his second Budget under the current administration, went on to say that the country’s economy will be on the winning path once again. 
“We have it within ourselves to be the best in the world. Congratulations to Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, the Springboks, and the Proteas, who won while we were preparing this Budget. 
Our economy has won before, and it will win again,” Mboweni stated.
