The departments have prioritised spending and identified savings amounting to R40 billion over the next three years, to improve value for money and ensure alignment with the NDP, a move also supported by BUSA. Government will step up efforts to combat waste, inefficiency and corruption, including procurement reforms. Government would also address shortcomings in planning, procurement and contract management. The FFC, BUSA and the Manufacturing Circle echo the abovementioned sentiments. The FFC further indicated that the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) make special provisions to address these issues and that these provisions should be enforced where applicable.
