Podcast appearances and mentions of enoch godongwana

After a few months away, Watts & Wheels returns for the fifth episode of season 1, with William Kelly in studio and Duncan McLeod dialling in from the Southern Cape. Watch episode 5 now In episode 5, William and Duncan dive into: • The new Suzuki Across, an entry-level SUV priced from R350 000 to R465 000 that squares up against Suzuki's own Grand Vitara – and the welcome return of physical knobs and buttons, a trend Volkswagen is following, too. • Dongfeng's expanding EV range – the Nami 01, Nami 06 and E3 – a clutch of sub-R500 000 models turning up the heat in South Africa's budget EV price war. • Why fuel pain may be a tipping point: AutoTrader reports a jump in EV searches after the latest petrol and diesel hikes, with cheap used EVs vanishing fast. • The spiralling cost of car ownership, from ad valorem “bracket creep” to research showing it takes nearly 15 000 minimum-wage hours to buy a VW Polo locally, against roughly 1 600 in the UK. • A Polo milestone – 500 000 of the current generation exported – and finance minister Enoch Godongwana lifting the ministerial car price cap to R1.1-million. • Whether Johannesburg's City Power should be rolling out public EV chargers while it struggles to keep the lights on. The “Crazy Chinese” segment serves up a Yangwang – BYD's luxury arm – swimming across a lake, before the episode's highlight: an in-studio interview with Gary Davies, the South African behind a purpose-built electric game-viewing vehicle. Dubbed the “Bentley of the bush”, it pairs a 63kWh battery and two 150kW motors with clip-on body panels and a biomimicry-inspired cooling fan, engineered locally with the University of Pretoria. William then lives with Leapmotor's C10 range-extended EV for a week and comes away pleasantly surprised – seriously comfortable, remarkably quiet and frugal, if let down by a fiddly key and an all-touchscreen cabin. The show signs off with Hot or Not. TechCentral

Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, voer aan hy is geregtig om die brandstofheffing na sy goeddunke en in openbare belang aan te pas, soos die Doeane- en Aksynswet bepaal. Die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof het uitspraak voorbehou in die EFF se aansoek waarin hy die minister van Finansies se gesag om die brandstofheffing te bepaal en aan te pas, uitdaag. ʼn EFF-woordvoerder, Nazier Paulsen, sê die verhoging in brandstofheffing wat Godongwana in sy Februarie-begrotingsrede aangekondig het, moes vergoed vir die mislukte BTW-verhoging verlede jaar:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het streeksamewerking binne die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap gelas om bestendigheid in die voorsiening van brandstof en kunsmis te verseker. Die minister in die Presidensie, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, sê die regering gryp in om brandstofpryse te verlig te midde van wêreldwye spanning weens die voortgesette konflik in die Midde-Ooste. Sy sê die kabinet het die brandstoftoelaag van 17,2-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand goedgekeur van April tot Junie, wat finansminister Enoch Godongwana aangekondig het:

Die DA se burgemeesterskandidaat in Johannesburg, Helen Zille, sê die Stad het belangrike munisipale finansiële wette oortree en herhaalde waarskuwings deur die Nasionale Tesourie geïgnoreer. In 'n media-inligtingsessie het Zille gesê 'n brief van die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, het verskeie oortredings uiteengesit, insluitend die goedkeuring van 'n onbefondsde begroting en die versuim om onreëlmatige en verkwistende besteding te voorkom. Sy waarsku hierdie oortredings kan die stad se finansiële krisis vererger en verdere ingryping deur Tesourie tot gevolg hê:

'n Brief van die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, aan die burgemeester , Dada Morero, dui op die vraag... Is die Johannesberg Metro tans bankrot? Stormweer in die Wes-Kaap eis minstens een lewe - in die Knysna-omgewing. En twee agtereenvolgende rentekoersverhogings word weens inflasie-onsekerheid voorspel.

ActionSA sê die Nasionale Tesourie rig 'n waarskuwing oor die Stad Johannesburg se finansiële bestuur en waarsku oor mislukkings in bestuur, stygende skuld en nie-nakoming van regulasies. Woordvoerder Mongezi Ntsebenzo sê die finansminister, Enoch Godongwana, het die stad opdrag gegee om 'n salarisooreenkoms te staak wat as onbekostigbaar beskou word. Hy waarsku verbintenisse moet wettig en volhoubaar wees en vra dringende ingryping om die stad bestendig te maak:

Buitelanders word die skuld gegee vir 'n skietery by 'n restaurant in Johannesburg se middestad. Die Minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, sê vandag oor verdere verligting in die brandstofprys. Die vonke sal na verwagting spat by die kernsperverdrag-onderhandelinge in New York.

Motheo Khoaripe speaks to Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana about the global economic fallout from rising geopolitical tensions, including the impact of disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz on oil prices and what that means for South Africa’s inflation, fuel costs and growth outlook, alongside key discussion outcomes from the IMF World Bank Spring Meetings. In other interviews, Renai Moothilal, CEO and Executive Director of the National Association of Automotive Component and Allied Manufacturers talks about Mahindra’s advanced plans to upgrade its South African plant, the potential shift to completely knocked-down production, and what deeper local manufacturing could mean for competition, jobs and affordability in the country’s fast‑growing auto market.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Steve Gruzd from the South African Institute of International Affairs about how rising global conflict could affect South Africa’s already fragile economic recovery. The country’s economy grew by just 0.4% in the final quarter of 2025, a slight improvement from 0.3% in the previous quarter. In his recent budget speech, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana expressed optimism that South Africa is beginning to turn a corner, pointing to stronger-than-expected tax revenue, progress in tackling large-scale corruption, and the country’s removal from the grey list. But renewed global conflict and the uncertainty surrounding oil supply and prices could complicate those projections. With the world’s major economies in the Group of Seven also grappling with the economic consequences of war, the conversation examines whether countries like South Africa have any real influence over global shocks or are simply forced to react to them. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

‘n Mosie van wantroue teen die burgemeester van Johannesburg, Dada Morero, word vandag gedebatteer. Die hoof van die inkomstediens, Edward Kieswetter, beskryf die begroting wat die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana ter tafel gelê het, as konserwatief. Amerika se ambassadeur in Suid-Afrika, Leo Brent Bozell III, wil handelsbande tussen dié twee lande versterk.

Godongwana is expected to walk a fiscal tightrope — avoiding new taxes, showing modest deficit improvement, signalling tougher spending controls, and using windfall revenues to slow the rise in national debt while still funding core services.

Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, berei voor om vandag sy begrotingsrede te lewer, terwyl Giwusa alle pogings verwerp om fiskale besuinigingsmaatreëls in te stel. Die vakbond se president, Mametlwe Sebei, sê agtereenvolgende regerings het die fiskus stelselmatig van inkomste ontneem. Korporatiewe belasting het tydens apartheid op meer as 50-persent gestaan. Sebei sê dit is tans 27-persent:

Die waarnemende adjunk- uitvoerende hoof van die Suid-Afrikaanse Instituut vir Belastingkundiges, Keitumetse Sesana, spoor Suid-Afrikaners aan om voor te berei vir nuwe belastingbeleidsmaatreëls voor die begrotingsrede deur die Minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana. Sesana het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê verbeterde invorderings deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens en uitgebreide handhawing kan die belastinggaping verklein. Sy het ook beklemtoon dat aansporings en ondersteuning deur Nasionale Tesourie die druk kan verlig op belastingbetalers wat voldoen.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Miyelani Holeni about what Enoch Godongwana signalled in the Budget Speech, a decisive shift toward enforcing fiscal discipline at municipal level to fix failing water and electricity services, with the City of Johannesburg collecting billions in water revenue but reinvesting only a fraction and contributing to a R64 billion backlog. The Finance Minister warned that diverting service revenue away from infrastructure maintenance risks systemic collapse.

Terwyl Namibië se nasionale begroting Donderdag ter tafel gelê word, is dit die buurland se beurt Woensdagmiddag. Terwyl Namibië ook uitdagings ervaar met drank- en sigaretsmokkelary, is dit nie naby die vlakke van Suid-Afrika nie. Tax Justice South Africa waarsku die finansminister, Enoch Godongwana, teen die verhoging van "sonde"-belasting voor onwettige handel nie aangespreek word nie. Die leier van die organisasie, Yusuf Abramjee, sê misdaadsindikate beheer nou 75-persent van sigarette en 18-persent van alkohol, wat die staat jaarliks miljarde kos. Hy waarsku dat aksynsverhogings sonder sterker wetstoepassing, grensbeheer en vervolging misdadigers sal verryk terwyl dit belastingbetalers benadeel.

Cosatu vra die regering en minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, om in Woensdag se begrotingsrede voorkeur te gee aan fondse vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens. Die vakverbond sê die inkomstediens is een van die administrasie se suksesverhale wat belastinginvordering van 61-persent tot 67-persent verhoog het. Cosatu-woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê die inkomstediens moet hulpbronne kry om belastingnakoming oor die volgende drie jaar tot 75-persent te verbeter, wat ʼn bykomende 200 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand sal beteken:

The government tax on spirits is expected to breach the R100 mark per 750ml bottle when Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivers his Budget Speech for 2026. As a result, the tax imposed will in many cases be the biggest component of the cost to the consumer, ranging between 55-65% of the retail selling price of mainstream spirits products. Diageo South Africa is warning that this may drive consumers towards the tax-evading illicit alcohol market.

ActionSA se studente-afdeling het die oproep deur die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana, verwelkom om die Nasionale Finansiële Hulpskema vir Studente te skrap en studentefinansiering regstreeks na hoëronderwysinstellings te herlei. Die hoof van ActionSA se studente-afdeling, Thabo Malosi, sê studente regoor Suid-Afrika het jare lank onder die gevolge van wanbestuur, korrupsie en administratiewe mislukkings binne NSFAS gely. Hy sê hierdie kwessies het gelei tot laat betalings, akademiese uitsluitings, honger en onnodige stres vir studente:

TLU SA kritiseer die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, se Mediumtermyn-begrotingsbeleidsverklaring omdat dit fiskale syfers aanspreek, maar nie Suid-Afrika se dieper probleme aanpak nie. Bennie van Zyl van die organisasie sê misleide beleid, ondermynde eiendomsregte, politieke aanstellings bo kundigheid, en institusionele verval, bly onaangespreek. Van Zyl sê alhoewel daar skuldstabilisering en infrastruktuurplanne is, meen TLU SA dat volhoubare groei afhang van duidelike beleid, verantwoordbaarheid, vryemarkbeginsels en bekwame, en die kundige bestuur van staatsinstellings:

Die GOOD-party sê terwyl Suid-Afrika se ekonomie beskeie tekens van herstel toon, bly armoede en honger steeds 'n ernstige bron van kommer. Die party waarsku voor vandag se mediumtermyn-begrotingsbeleidsverklaring deur die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, stadige ekonomiese groei en beperkte maatskaplike verligting laat sukkel baie Suid-Afrikaners om voedsel en basiese behoeftes te bekostig. Brett Herron van die GOOD-party doen 'n beroep op die regering om te fokus op besteding op infrastruktuur, werkgeleenthede en 'n nasionale voedselprogram vir die kwesbaarstes:

Die finansminister, Enoch Godongwana, het 'n nuwe inflasieteiken van drie-persent aangekondig, met 'n eenpunt-speling. Hy het in sy vyfde mediumtermyn-begrotingsbeleidsverklaring in die parlement voorspel die land se ekonomie sal vanjaar met 1,2 persent groei, meer as dubbel die groei wat verlede jaar gesien is, en verwag 'n gemiddelde groei van 1,8-persent tussen 2026 en '27. Godongwana sê staatskuld sal bestendig bly op 77,9-persent van die bruto binnelandse produk, die eerste keer sedert 2008:

Die DA sê die mediumtermynbegroting-beleidsverklaring mag nie groot besteding, inkomste-tekorte en hoër belasting bevat nie. Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, lewer môre sy mediumtermynbegroting in die Parlement. Die begrotingsverklaring handel oor die regering se ekonomiese beleidsraamwerk, verskaf bygewerkte ekonomiese vooruitsigte, wysig departementele begrotings en gee goedkeuring vir noodbesteding. Mark Burke van die DA sê hy verwag die begroting sal welverdiende oorwinnings weerspieël en versterk:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Maatskaplike Sekerheidsagentskap het bevestig dat alle maatskaplike toelae van die Oktober 2025 betalingsiklus met 10 Suid-Afrikaanse rand verhoog sal word. Dit volg na die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana se aankondinging tydens die begroting vroeër vanjaar. Ouderdoms-, gestremdheids-, Versorgings - en Oorlogsveteranetoelaes sal almal geringe verhogings ontvang. 'n Woordvoerder van Sassa, Andile Tshona, sê die aanpassings is noodsaaklik om die finansiële druk te verminder en om kwesbare groepe te beskerm:

Die Vereniging van Staatsamptenare sê die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana, moet dringend ʼn nuwe raad vir die Openbare Beleggingskorporasie aanstel. Die vorige raad se termyn het verstryk. Intussen is die korporasie se uitvoerende hoof, Thabiso Moshikara, geskors te midde van ernstige bewerings oor omkoopgeld van 3-miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Claude Naiker, sê die vertraging met die aanstelling van ʼn nuwe raad ondermyn bestuur en bestendigheid terwyl beslissende leierskap nodig is:

Cosatu het die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana, geprys vir sy ingryping om die likwidasie van Ithala Bank te stop. Die bank van KwaZulu-Natal sou vroeër sluit nadat dit insolvent verklaar is. Werksgeleenthede was in gevaar en meer as 257 000 kliënte was in die gedrang. Cosatu-woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê hulle was teen die sluiting oor die uitwerking op werkers en die gemeenskap. Sabela het 'n beroep gedoen vir 'n volhoubare omkeerstrategie om die bank se lewensvatbaarheid en voldoening aan regulasies te verseker:
