Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how work is done in many industries. Universities in South Africa need to update their courses and training programs to keep pace with these changes. This will help students learn new skills that match the future job market. At the same time, Budget 2026 has been analyzed by experts like Kevin Lings, who highlight the balance between government spending and economic growth. The Building Housing Fund (BHF) has also responded to recent decisions about tax credits, which aim to support affordable housing. Additionally, a new housing model is being introduced to give families more options, allowing them to rent, buy, or even build homes based on what suits them best. These developments show that both education and economic policies are evolving to better support South Africans in a changing world.
OnABudget takeaway: South Africans should watch for new education opportunities to build AI skills and understand changes in budget policies affecting housing and taxes. Small business owners could benefit from knowing new housing options and tax credit impacts.
