"content": "need to do is understand and appreciate the circumstances under which we are operating as a country especially now. We are doing this budget at a very difficult time with COVID-19 ravaging the country and not just the country but the world. It has affected the economy both internally and externally. Therefore, I would hate to be the head of the Executive in this country at this time because we are dealing with very unpredictable and unprecedented scenario in modern history of human kind. Moreover, in making the budget at this time there are certain balances that have to be looked into and they are challenging whichever way you look at it. Moreover, we are also moving into an election year that always comes with its own challenges. Therefore, I just want to say that whether it is through intervention of IMF or whatever I am actually happy that there are certain interventions that National Treasury has for once taken into account. We are seeing for the first time that - I do not want to speak to what the other members have said - the revenue projections are a bit more conservative than in the past. This is because we are not realistic about the situation that we are facing as a country."
