GUEST - Miyelani Holeni - Group Chief Advisor at Ntiyiso Consulting Group
A national budget is more than just numbers—it’s the backbone of government service delivery. When a budget is delayed, it sets off a chain reaction, affecting funding allocations to government departments, municipalities, and key service providers. Essential services such as healthcare, education, infrastructure projects, and social grants may face disruptions, leading to delays in project rollouts and strained public resources.
In this interview, we explore the real-world consequences of a postponed budget. How does it impact government operations at different levels? What challenges do municipalities and service providers face when allocations are delayed? And most importantly, how does this affect communities relying on these services?
