This state of affairs transpired on your watch. It is reported that the cost of "state capture" hovers at around R1, trillion over the second term of the Jacob Zuma administration. That is just short of the R1,8 trillion budget for 2019. That is dreadful to say the least. The revenue shortfall was mainly due to a combination of economic weaknesses, problems of poor tax administration by the South African Revenue Service, SARS, and higher than expected Value Added tax, VAT, refunds.
