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.
