# Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has questioned the affordability of providing free public healthcare to undocumented migrants, saying limited resources should prioritise legal residents. Speaking in Pretoria, Godongwana noted the Constitution obliges the state to provide services to all, calling this a grave mistake. His remarks come amid South Africa’s long-standing tensions over migration and strained public services. He confirmed that the Treasury is reviewing government spending to find ways of saving money and avoiding waste.
