INFOGRAPHIC | Supplementary healthcare budget

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has painted a grim picture for the country as it battles with the new coronavirus pandemic and a shrinking economy. Mboweni delivered his supplementary COVID-19 budget on Wednesday this week.

Mboweni says the country’s economy could hit levels last seen 90 years ago, as the economy is opened after a national lockdown.

Government has had to set-up temporary health facilities to deal with the pandemic.
