A date has been set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to decide on South Africa’s request for financial assistance.
Last month, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni announced in his supplementary budget speech that South Africa approached the IMF for energy funding.
The international body said it will meet next week to consider South Africa’s request.
The meeting comes after months of engagements between the National Treasury and IMF management. South Africa wants a loan of R4.2-billion.

Five unions have sued the government following its decision to not pay salary increases.
