    "content": "Financial Year 2020/2021. It is pegging this growth on agriculture. They are thinking that the Almighty God will be so kind to them and that they will have good weather throughout. It will be raining all the days and all the time. This is one of the fewest countries in the world that has meteorological departments but they never advise the governments to make policies. Our country acts only when events happen. We are going through severe drought now. It is like the Meteorological Department did not know that there will be drought at this time. The Government acts when it hears that accidents have happened. It will never stop, foresee or take preventive action before that happens. They are distributing relief food now. Who told them that there will be no drought in 2021, 2020 and 2019? They are saying that the economy will grow at 6.8 per cent. They should come up with mechanisms that will help them focus, so that they can be sure. The National Treasury will review these figures very soon, and say that the economy will go at 3.5 per cent because we have severe drought. However, in the Budget Policy Statement, they told you that the economy will grow at 6.8 per cent two years ago. That is something that happens all over again. So, I expect the National Treasury to change its methodology of doing the economic growth."
