NATIONAL NEWS - Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba says that South Africa won’t have the money for a major nuclear programme for at least the next five years.
He spoke at an event in Cape Town on Thursday morning following his inaugural MTBPS speech on Wednesday.
In it, he painted a bleak picture of the nation’s finances with little light at the end of the tunnel.
Gigaba spoke to journalists and business people in Cape Town this morning.
He was asked to explain his stance on the nuclear build programme amid seemingly mixed signals from his Cabinet colleague in the Energy portfolio, David Mahlobo.
