BASA slams Tau’s credit U-turn; Moody’s warns SA trapped in costly debt spiral
Motheo Khoaripe speaks to Khulekani Mathe, CEO designate of Business Unity South Africa, and John Dludlu, CEO of the Small Business Institute, Refilwe Monageng, Chief Executive of the Black Entrepreneurs Alliance, about the growing rift between government and business over Minister Parks Tau’s sudden withdrawal of proposed credit reforms — a move critics say undermines trust, due process, and efforts to close the R350bn funding gap for small enterprises. In other interviews, Dr Azar Jammine, Director and Chief Economist at Econometrix, explains South Africa’s debt troubles after Moody’s flagged weak growth, rising fiscal strain and structural hurdles.
