    Budget Review 2018 Naational Treasury Republic of South Africa 21 February 2018 ISBN: 978-0-621-46020-9 RP: 03/2018 The Budget Review is compiled using the latest available information from departmental and other sources.

A renewed sense of optimism has provided a much-needed boost to confidence and investment. The economic outlook has improved. And government has expressed a new resolve to strengthen policy coordination. Yet this positive turn of events should not blind us to the enormous economic and fiscal challenges facing our country. Economic growth is far too low to reduce alarmingly high unemployment and inequality. Revenue collection, on which government depends to fund social and economic spending programmes, will fall short of projections by R48.2 billion in 2017/18. The finances of several state- owned companies are in a precarious state. The 2017 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) pointed out that extraordinary measures would be needed to stabilise the public finances. Without such measures, we would only delay the debt reckoning, and a growing share of spending would be absorbed by interest payments. The 2018 Budget proposals address these concerns with resolve.

    Magical Realism Beyond the Wall of Apartheid? Missing Persons by Ivan Vladislavic Valeria Guidotti A boundary is not that at which something stops but [... ] from which something begins its presenang. (Martin Heidegger, Poetry, l.Ilnguage, TIwught)l OUTH AFRICAN LITERATURE, LIKE SHEHERAZADE, has repeatedly Sbeen threatened by death. Critics and intellectuals, mainly from out­ side Africa, formerly feared that the oppressive restriction of apart­ heid would kill creativity; more recently they have been afraid that its demise, with the collapse of that totalitarian system encompassing all fields, social, political, and cultural, would have the same result. How can South African literature survive? Where can it find new life and sustenance? I wish I could make a definite reply to these obsessive ques­ tions: magical realism, a major component of postmodernist fiction and an important feature of post-colonial writing, is also a well established literary practice in post-apartheid literature. However, the transition to freedom is a moment of "cultural uncertainty, and, most crucially, of significatory or representational undecidability."2 This paper will therefore simply attempt to trace the existence of a fictional mode identifiable as magical realism in South Africa; it will also attempt to uncover connections with and local 1 Martin Heidegger, "Building, Dwelling, Thinking" in Poetry, l.Ilnguage, TIwught; quoted by Homi K Bhabha in The Location of Culture (London: Routledge, 1994 ): 1 (author's emphasis). 2 Bhabha, The Location of Culture,
