PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cyril Ramaphosa is Positive . JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africaâs finance ministry is set to spell out âtough decisionsâ in its 2018 budget on Wednesday to plug a revenue gap and narrow the deficit  providing an early look at  how new President Cyril Ramaphosa  plans to repair the ailing economy.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba  whose position is uncertain now amid talk of an imminent reshuffle by  Ramaphosa   sent shock waves through financial markets last October when  he  announced the projected revenue shortfall and flagged weak growth estimates and rising government debt.
Though it remained to be seen whether Gigaba would be the one tabling the budget in parliament on Wednesday   his  spokesman indicated there was no stepping back from tough measures which have also been emphasized by  Ramaphosa .
In his maiden state of the nation address on Friday  a day after his election as president by parliament   Ramaphosa  also warned of tough decisions to reduce the fiscal deficit and stabilize debt after years of weak growth.
 Ramaphosa  took over after Zuma stepped down on orders of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ending nine years of office plagued by corruption allegations and economic mismanagement.

FORT BRAGG  N.C. â Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl  who in 2009 walked off a U.S. military outpost in eastern Afghanistan and spent the next five years in enemy captivity  was sentenced Friday to a dishonorable discharge from the Army but will avoid prison time.
 Bergdahl âs case sparked ferocious debate over his actions and the controversial prisoner exchange that led to his release in 2014  challenging the militaryâs bedrock principle of never leaving a soldier behind.
It also was overshadowed by President Trumpâs accusation that  Bergdahl  is a traitor who should be executed. Bergdahlâs defense siezed on those remarks  arguing they compromised his right to a fair hearing. Nance indicated earlier this week that Trumpâs statements could result in a less severe sentence.

As a consequence of his dishonorable discharge   Bergdahl  will lose all benefits  including medical care  afforded to military veterans. He will also forfeit $1 000 a month for the next 10 months. His rank will be reduced from sergeant to private.
Fidell said in a written statement that  Bergdahl  is grateful to those who searched for him during his captivity and to those who helped secure his release. He also excoriated Trump for what he called an âunprincipled effort to stoke a lynchmob atmosphereâ during the presidential campaign.

The sentence closes a major chapter in whatâs become an eight-year odyssey.  Bergdahl  the sole U.S. service member to be captured in Afghanistan   became a political lightning rod across two administrations. The episode drew in Trump and former President Barack Obama  who was roundly criticized for holding a Rose Garden ceremony to celebrate Bergdahlâs return even as details of the soldierâs voluntary abandonment had begun to circulate.
Trump said on the campaign trail that  Bergdahl  was a âdirty  rotten traitorâ who should be executed. Bergdahlâs sentencing hearing began Oct. 23 with a motion from Bergdahlâs attorneys to dismiss the case on grounds Trump improperly used his position as commander in chief to interfere in the process. Trump recently referred back to his inflammatory statements.
 Bergdahl  walked away from his combat outpost just before midnight June 29  2009  in what an Army investigation determined was an attempt to cause a crisis and draw attention to concerns that  Bergdahl  had about his leaders.
While  Bergdahl  and his lawyers have said it was a decision he later regretted  prosecutor Maj. Justin Oshana said Thursday that âit wasnât a mistake  it was a crime.â
 Bergdahl  was captured within hours by armed Taliban fighters on motorcycles and turned over to the Haqqani network  a group in Pakistan that tortured him on and off for years. His release was secured as part of a controversial prisoner exchange initiated by the Obama administration in 2014  in which five Taliban militants were swapped for the U.S. soldier.

The prosecution has said Bergdahlâs decisions contributed to grim injuries as the war effort in eastern Afghanistan ground to halt so that thousands of U.S. and Afghan troops  charged with rolling back Taliban influence and securing polling stations for upcoming elections  could instead look for  Bergdahl . But the trail quickly grew cold. Later they would learn he had been spirited away to Pakistan.
