5 Breakfast

Each day a buzzword is announced, and 5 questions are asked to a listener, all of which will contain
the buzzword.

This week on Money Mondays, Xoli Zondo and financial expert Thuli Magubane reflect on
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's recent Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement
(MTBPS).
With contributions from the Money Babies, they explore whether ordinary South Africans
paid attention to the speech, what prevents people from engaging with government
financial announcements, and which issues sparked optimism or concern.

The conversation also examines the importance of financial literacy, the connection
between national economic decisions and household finances, and why understanding
how government manages public money matters to every South African.

What happened on this day in history.?

He spent decades beside someone else’s dream and still stole the poster, Was technically the companion but eventually became the headline, And built global recognition from very few words.”

He watched one man command an ancient stadium and quietly chose his future, Years later, he built a global earthquake from a bedroom upstairs, Then heard strangers play it before most of them knew who made it.

This morning on Pap and Politics, Thabo Baloyi is taking a closer look at the state of South Africa's finances following yesterday's Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement, delivered by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana.
