CNBC AFRICA, Africa's largest business television news channel, will be
the only business channel to broadcast LIVE breaking developments
throughout Budget Day on Wednesday, 27 February.
The channel will cross live to the budget speech by South African Minister
of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, while senior anchor Alishia Seckam will come
out of lock-up with many of the country's top financial commentators and
experts, ready to analyse the minister's speech as he makes it.
"Budget day is one of the most important events on our financial calendar
and at CNBC Africa we pull out all stops to provide our viewers with the
highest standard of analysis and understanding of the issues stemming from
the minister's presentation, from revenue proposals to social spending
plans," said Godfrey Mutizwa, CNBC Africa's Chief Editor.
A number of high powered panels will contextualise the details and
ramifications of this year's budget at the CNBC Africa Johannesburg
studios. CNBC Africa, by virtue of its markets-coverage leadership
position in the market, has been able to secure all the top analysts,
commentators, economists and opinion leaders for live debates throughout
