Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is expected to deliver a gloomy budget, in light of poor economic  performance, brought about by record high loadshedding and the South Africa being grey-listed. And there are fears that taxes will be increased to fund the 350-rand social relief of distress grant. As you know that we’ve just received results from the latest census and thought to get an understanding of how the information obtained helps the Finance Minister allocate funds for the different projects and services government will be rendering to the nation and also how he can navigate a difficult economy where we currently find ourselves.
