DA holds media briefing after decision not to hike VAT



Let’s cross now to the DA Press conference as the DA reports back to the public following a massive victory against what they call an unjust VAT hike.

After steadfast opposition by the DA, lawyers acting on behalf of the Minister of Finance have approached the DA’s legal representatives with a proposal for an out-of-court settlement.

This follows the DA’s application to interdict the VAT increase, which the party has opposed from the outset on the grounds of its impact on already struggling South African households.

This development marks a major victory for the DA and a turning point in the fight to protect South Africans from unjustified financial burdens. Let’s take you there now.

  4. One thing about madam Zille is that she really has a very firm political mantra and firmness in as far as SA political landscape is concerned. She has the maturity and the wisdom in reading the political atmosphere and direction ahead of time at times. She knew this will attract the citizens attention to think and contemplate considering the DA electorally, of course DA is there to advance the white supremacy agenda and interest, however they deserve credit on this one irregardless

  7. Interesting point of departure of The Lead on eNCA, channel 403…DA was not credited with much. Really thought the interview with DA could have been more charitable with time and insight – or should one rather say a lack of insight.

  10. Someone asks why is the EFF not be thanked equally? It's they were not the main applicant in the matter. They only followed behind the DA. Hence the out of court settlement negotiations involved only the main applicant to agree to the withdrawal of the VAT increase

  28. DA and EFF have won this fight thanks to them, but why this black journalists are speaking their languages when asking questions as the afrikaners do. Be proud of your African languages if others speaks theirs then speak yours proudly so.

  29. The DA spearheaded the victory here, however I think the real winner here is logic and proper thinking. Not logic in a simple sense, but rather logic that is executed when all circumstances are broken down into their individual components and examined carefully. I would like to think that this event is not a soap box for the DA, but rather an example of how we as South Africans can come together and work things out. It is a small victory in that sense, but a victory none the less that we should be paying attention to
