JOHANNESBURG - Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is laying out his Medium Term Budget Policy Statement on Wednesday afternoon.
A key topic will be the funding of the National Health Insurance.
While he'll be talking funds to implement the Act, a critical situation is unfolding in Gauteng.
Gauteng's central hospitals are struggling to meet overwhelming demand for cancer treatment.
Almost 3,000 cancer patients are waiting for life-saving radiation therapy.
All this while hundreds of millions in budgeted funds remain unspent.
