South Africa: Ramaphosa’s Govt in Threat as Coalition Partner Reject Budget | Firstpost Africa | N18G
South Africa’s Parliament passed the national budget this week — but it scraped through with a slim majority. Those voting against it included members of the ruling coalition. South Africa’s second-largest party, the Democratic Alliance (or DA), has rejected the budget. The party says it will challenge it in court. Not just this — it’s now reconsidering its position in the government. The DA was once South Africa’s main opposition party, but last year it joined President Cyril Ramaphosa’s African National Congress (ANC) after the ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years. But joining the unity government hasn’t closed the gap. The two main parties disagree on key policies. The budget is now a flashpoint. The center-right DA rejects tax increases and demands spending cuts across all departments. Watch for more updates.

Flabbergasted, seeing well fed comrades celebrating vat increase which will hurt the poor most .SA a movie but sad really.
Overfed is what they are
Think you should challenge your genetic inheritance rather than encouraging the scheme that is your downfall just because you want to feel like you belong somewhere.
Talking about Mark Burke… Looks a bit 💙🔵 like inbred children
What do the ANC not understand, VAT is killing south africans, why be upset with the DA, they trying to protect south africans
As if the DA will do a better job they will only do a better job for whites and colored but blacks will still suffer
The stupids were celebrating higher prices ? How is this mentality. ..of jumping for joy over an Increase of Vat..making everyone poorer…they are celebrating that…
ANC MUST FALL TO PROTECT SOUTH AFRICA's ECONOMY !!
But why are white people still staying in SA ?
we welcomed EFF.
Remember that God is not sleeping .Justed will happen
How can a Criminal control the Country stealing Taxpayers money and all the crooks Nigerian from over the sea
The ANC has never had a government since 2009 so what’s new
Our Government is weak really.. We have no Law. Infra structure ruined.. Poor water management..Load shedding.. How come a country like Rwanda.. Torn by genocide can still overcome all those adversities and still the people are so patriotic now and stand together to make their country so beautiful and united together. It's time now for our younger generation who are educated enough to take over and take control really. Our people are exploited, exploited. Worst than the Apartheid Era shocking really.
