In this interview with Irakli of BizNews, Currency co-founder Giulietta Talevi unpacks the April 23 letter from Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to Joburg Mayor Dada Morero, which laid bare the city's "shocking" financial picture: just R3.9bn in cash against R25bn owed to creditors. "Technically, you would say that it's bankrupt now, and cannot afford an excessively expensive wage deal," Talevi says of the R10.3bn SAMWU agreement at the heart of the dispute. She explains why Moody's downgrade watch is really about governance — not just numbers — pointing out that the city's failure to produce its audited financial statements "indicates serious deterioration in governance, and not just Joburg's financial health." Two deadlines loom: audited financials owed to the JSE by May 31, and a R1.4bn bond repayment due June 22. Talevi explains that because the debt is unsecured, all creditors "are treated equally" — meaning a single default event could trigger every lender to call in their loans simultaneously. She also raises the spectre of moral hazard, citing Chartis Asset Management's Ian Scott on what he calls a "treasury-funded put" — the idea that bailing out Joburg signals to leadership that they "can mess up, you can collapse the financial situation of the country's biggest Metro… and we'll bail you out because you're too big to fail." When Irakli draws a parallel to the e-toll saga, Talevi agrees taxpayers are "on the hook again" — paying their taxes only to face additional costs for the basic services those taxes were meant to fund.

Joburg Mayor Dada Morero is meeting Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana today following concerns over the City's finances. Treasury says the City owes creditors R25 billion but has only R3.9 billion in cash available. The Minister has also ordered the City to halt its recent agreement with union SAMWU, warning of risks to the economy. Mayor Morero says the City remains operational and is committed to transparency.

The financial crisis facing the City of Johannesburg has taken a dramatic turn, following a scathing letter from Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to Executive Mayor Dada Morero. The letter paints a deeply troubling picture, from what's been described as an unfunded or "fictional" budget, to a staggering R25 billion debt burden, a liquidity crisis, and allegations of unlawful financial commitments. At the centre of it all are concerns that the city may be in breach of the Municipal Finance Management Act, legislation designed to safeguard financial stability and service delivery in municipalities. Political party Rise Mzansi says this confirms what residents have long experienced: a city in decline, plagued by governance failures and financial mismanagement. We spoke to Rise Mzansi's Chief Organiser, Makashule Gana, to unpack these serious allegations and what they mean for Johannesburg residents.

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.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Micaela Paschini, Team Lead: Tax Legal at Tax Consulting SA about a major court ruling that could reshape how tax policy is made in South Africa.

A boost in tax revenue has given the National Treasury room to offer the first inflation-linked tax relief since the 2023/24 financial year.
