Godongwana says his budget can't be faulted for not apportioning money to where it's most needed
Following a second successful attempt at passing the fiscal framework which underpins the national budget on Wednesday, Godongwana said that it was now up to MPs to ensure the money was spent correctly.
The budget allocates one trillion rand for infrastructure spending over the next three years.
"Is that money going to be used efficiently and effectively. That should be the concern of these members. But you can't fault the budget. If it's not spent properly, that's your duty as Parliament to do your oversight."
Parliament's finance committees will now get to work in scrutinising the money bills which allocate money to all spheres of government.

City of Joburg told to address wasteful expenditure
JOHANNESBURG - National Treasury has sent a letter to the City of Johannesburg, warning the city about unauthorised, irregular, fruitless, and wasteful expenditure to the tune of R22 billion. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has written to Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero. He's given him two weeks to address the issue. Former Joburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse says the current issues within the city of gold signal a collapse of good governance and a failure of internal controls. "For the minister to intervene proves that at a departmental level the heads are not doing their job. It means the MEC overseeing those portfolios are not doing their job. Additionally it shows that the cities council is frustrated from asking questions and not getting any response," she says. She said the city is currently on auto pilot with a lot of rampant looting and that it is time for someone to step in.

Enoch Godongwana challenges SARB's inflation target proposals
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana firmly opposes the South African Reserve Bank's proposed inflation target, asserting that any changes must follow established protocols Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has publicly pushed back against the South African Reserve Bank's warning that the central bank cannot independently decide to lower the country's inflation target. This comes after SARB Governor Lesetja Kganyago said last week that the Monetary Policy Committee would now use 3%, the bottom of the 3% to 6% target range, as the anchor for its forecasts. Markets took that as a signal that Treasury would soon follow suit. Godongwana, however, has made it crystal clear that this is not happening. 'It is well established that policy-making responsibility in this area resides with the Minister of Finance, working with the President and Cabinet,' he said. 'Any adjustments to our inflation-targeting framework will follow the established consultation process… not unilateral announcements that pre-empt legitimate policy deliberation.' He added, in a statement, that he has 'no plans' to announce a move to a 3% target in October's Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement.

Joburg's cure: Place the city under administration
The only way to begin to remove corruption from Joburg is to vote the ANC out. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's threat to cut national government funding for Joburg unless the city cleans up its finances is no solution. Nor would placing South Africa's biggest, richest city under administration be the answer. But these could be stop-gap measures. Mayor Dada Morero is under pressure, not only from residents, but also from national and provincial government, opposition parties and rivals within the ANC. The minority parties in his government of local unity are demanding that disastrous former mayor Thapelo Amad become finance MMC. Can you imagine? Five months ago, Cyril Ramaphosa established a presidential Johannesburg working group to 'strengthen governance and financial sustainability' and improve service delivery. Two months ago, Morero announced a 'bomb squad', borrowing from the Springbok rugby tactic of bringing on high-impact players to ensure success. The role of Morero's bomb squad is less clear than that of Ramaphosa's presidential working group. Neither has authority to spend ratepayers' money or give instructions to Joburg officials. ALSO READ: No budget, no bridge, no answers from JRA In rugby, bomb squad members replace teammates on the field. Not so with Morero's squad. Players stay on. Field gets crowded. The bomb squad and the presidential working group have been bypassing elected ward councillors and engaging with residents' associations and other stakeholders. It's an odd set-up whose legality and effectiveness remain under scrutiny. Trying to get things done for my community, I have reached out to the bomb squad for help with fixing the Blue Bridge across the Braamfontein Spruit. Since this bridge was damaged during March storms, I have used formal correspondence, council questions, a petition, posters, information tables and face-to-face encounters, including with a recently removed MMC. None of these was fruitful. However, a bomb squad member with engineering and executive background seems to have broken the logjam. I'm optimistic. If the Blue Bridge is fixed after bomb squad prompting, it will be a win for Morero's team. ALSO READ: Now we wait for accountability, Mr Mayor To his credit, Morero has also in recent weeks been visible in trying to ensure that our rates-rich, chronically underserviced region B receives overdue attention. However, none of this will spare him the harsh Treasury spotlight accompanying Godongwana's warning letter. We are told there is a mayoral response but it's difficult to imagine a convincing comeback from: '… The municipality closed the 2023-24 annual financial year with a cumulative consolidated figure of R1 450 589 242 in unauthorised expenditure, R22 231 361 642 in irregular expenditure and R705 408 949 in fruitless and wasteful expenditure. 'The 2023-24 audited annual financial statements also show that there has been little to no action taken by the municipality to address this.' What auditors call unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure may include corruption. There is massive corruption in Joburg. That's the core issue. We have yet to see if the bomb squad or presidential working group have the gumption to tackle corruption, the glue that binds the ANC. Whistle-blowers are endangered. The Sunday Times says at least 148 local officials have been assassinated countrywide since 2018. The only way to begin to remove corruption from Joburg is to vote the ANC out. Dissolve council, place Joburg under administration. Hold elections in 90 days. Let a fresh council begin to fix Joburg. NOW READ: When politicians and criminals blur lines
