Government financial reserves were nearly depleted, with a fifth of the national budget being spent on debt repayment, meaning that the extent of the promised Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) was scaled back, with none of the proposed nationalisation or job creation.
政府的财政储备已近乎耗尽，其中五分之一的国家预算用于还债，意味着原来承诺的重建与发展项目（RDP）只能缩减规模，原计划的企业国有化或创造就业岗位无法实现。
