  • In a bold statement on an EFF podcast, an independent economist has urged for the resignation of the Finance Minister ahead of the March Budget Speech.

The article from MSN discusses the call for South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to resign by economist Dawie Roodt. Roodt criticizes Godongwana's handling of the economy, particularly highlighting the government's failure to address the energy crisis effectively, which has led to economic stagnation. He points out the lack of progress in reducing the country's debt, the ongoing issues with state-owned enterprises like Eskom, and the overall economic mismanagement. Roodt believes that a change in leadership could bring new perspectives and potentially more effective solutions to South Africa's economic challenges. However, the article also notes that Godongwana has supporters who argue that he has been working under difficult circumstances, including global economic pressures and internal political constraints.
