President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended finance minister Enoch Godongwana, stating that the cancellation of the budget speech on Wednesday was not a crisis that threatened the government of national unity.
Speaking to the media at the G20 foreign ministers meeting on Thursday, Ramaphosa said Godongwana was walking a tightrope.
He said Godongwana was trying to find some leeway to support the country's ambitions and ensure the budget would support growth and the livelihoods of all South Africans.
