Every young South African outside the economy is revenue the National Revenue Fund has not collected. The fiscal purse is not filled to capacity, not because the economy is too small, but because a large contingent of the people who should be filling it are standing outside it.

South Africa's children deserve fiscal systems that work for them. The @Fiscal_Comm_RSA is proud to formalise this partnership with @UNICEF_SA to advance sound public financial management in service of every child's rights. Equitable resource allocation is not an aspiration, it is a constitutional imperative. ๐ฟ๐ฆ
The best investment a country can make? Its children.
UNICEF South Africa & the Financial & Fiscal Commission are joining forces to make public funds more efficient.
The goal: delivering real results #ForEveryChild's health, nutrition, education, safety & access to clean water.

My late mother loved City Press until her final days. Sunday mornings meant one thing - finding her a copy, no matter how far I had to search. If she were still with us, this news would have devastated her.
Thank you for decades of stories .

The City of Cape Town is in the grip of an Orange Level 6 storm warning right now โ gale-force winds, flooding roads, and heavy rain expected through Tuesday. Scenes like these underscore why disaster-resilient planning and forward-looking budget allocation matter.
Fiscal preparedness is not optional. It saves lives and livelihoods.

A reflection worth holding today: across South Africa, women perform the majority of unpaid care work - raising children, caring for the elderly, holding families together. This labourforce does not appear in GDP, yet without it no economy functions.Recognising the fiscal value of care is part of building an equitable society.

That is what a South African household tariff looks like since NERSA's 8% increase and the average 15% municipal markup added on.

Municipal revenue depends on electricity sales. Households are reaching the ceiling.
The fiscal squeeze on local government is no longer theoretical.

Parliament is being asked to approve R1.2 trillion for government departments.
That is R1 200 000 000 000.
The question is not whether the money will be spent.
Most of it will be.
The question is whether anything changes when it lands.
Next week the FFC makes its recommendations on the Appropriation Bill.
The FFC will tell Parliament what we find.
