#Budget2020: 'Substance over Bluster' - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Business Leadership South Africa's Busi Mavuso says as business they have already committed to participating in government’s R500 billion infrastructure fund.

We need the actual numbers and for the first time, the speech will matter a whole lot less. On the matter of the wage bill, Treasury indicated in the medium-term budget statement that it would find some R150 billion in savings over the medium term and deliver details next week. These are the sort of details that Moody’s Investors Services, the last ratings agency to have us hanging on by a thread to investment grade, will want to see from Treasury. My fear is that the speech along with the budget review documents will continue to walk a narrow tightrope of what is credible and what is not.

To mitigate these perhaps unavoidable consequences on reduction if not the amount of workers but their remuneration, as business we have already committed to participating in government’s R500 billion infrastructure fund that would be hosted by the Development Bank of Southern Africa. This plan was mooted in Octobers’ medium-term budget speech, its details are urgent.

In much a similar vein, the fact that the government is now willing to listen and accept that fixing the issue of load-shedding is more long-term nature is a welcome change. For a period of between 18 months and a full two years, Eskom will have to follow a schedule of load-shedding if the power utility is to finally overcome its maintenance backlog.

Don’t blame students, blame the commodification of knowledge in South Africa | IOL NewsOPINION: As long as vice chancellors operate as CEOs of corporate companies and council members as board members, nothing will ever be fixed because their goal is to make profit out of poor students, says Sbonelo Radebe. Corporitisation of universities as problematic as it could be cannot justify unwanton destruction of assets. Ask SAA what happens when it doesn’t make a profit! In the real world , money doesn’t grow on trees and if you can’t make money to pay lecturers, lights and a library then what kind of education you will end up getting. The real question is why tertiary can’t be cheaper online I read this headline, and I realise we are so fucked as a country. If we can’t understand the basics of running a business or institution, that you need profit to improve and employ, we are finished.
