The Finance Ministry has invited all South Africans to send their tips to the “Tips for Trevor” campaign about what they would like to see included in next month’s national budget.
According to the ministry’s spokesperson, Lindani Mbunyuza, the campaign is run throughout the year and the tips received assist the minister in understanding public sentiment on the government’s macro-economic policies.
Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has received tips covering a wide range of issues, with some offering technical advice, while others seek to engage the minister “in innovative and creative suggestions”, said Mbunyuza.
Some of the tips have been included in the annual Budget speech, which will be tabled in Parliament on Wednesday February 21 from 2pm.
The e-mail address for the tips is [email protected]. — I-Net Bridge
