June’25 – As Finance Minister: Enoch Godongwana grapples with the challenge of maintaining fiscal stability without deepening the burden on struggling households, FindBetter is reminding South Africans that they, too, face a similar balancing act—between surviving day to day and securing a stable financial future.
The recent cancellation of the VAT increase, coupled with ongoing debates around income tax adjustments and spending cuts, illustrates how precarious South Africa’s economic outlook has become. While national policymakers weigh difficult trade-offs, many South Africans are already feeling the personal impact of rising food prices, load-shedding costs, and soaring debt levels.
“The government is trying to avoid making things harder for the public—but that doesn’t mean things aren’t already hard,” said the PR team at FindBetter. “Now is the time for every South African household to get serious about their financial balancing act.”

The Budget Struggle Is Real—At Every Level
Just like the Treasury, ordinary citizens are faced with impossible choices: pay off debt or put food on the table? Save for the future or survive the month?
FindBetter is urging consumers to take back control, not by waiting for policy to change, but by accessing the practical support already available through debt counselling.

Policy Change or Not, Financial Pressure Remains
Even as the government steps back from increasing VAT, economists warn that further fiscal adjustments are likely inevitable. Whether that comes through fuel levies, income tax bands, or spending cuts that affect social services, the result is the same: South Africans must prepare for uncertainty.
“In times like these, doing nothing is the biggest risk,” says FindBetter. “Debt doesn’t disappear on its own. But with the right guidance, it can be managed and even overcome.”
