What is the best thing about the Budget? 

There are a lot of promises made by the Budget. But I feel that fulfilling these promises would be very difficult. I do not find anything that I can label as the best in the Budget.

And the worst?

The food and beverage industry is responsible for a lot of jobs in the country today, but it lacks important regulations and organisation. I expected some focus on skill development. The government thinks that people going out to eat isn’t important and therefore, we see no mention of it anywhere.
