South Africans will soon pay more tax at the till. If the government passes the budget, VAT will rise to 15.5% on 1 May, and again to 16% in April 2026. While this will boost government revenue, it will also raise living costs.

Just when I thought things would get better in South Africa I read that they are talking about adjusting our VAT by 2% as well as our income taxes.

Our budgets are tight as is and then they come with this? How would we recover?

"By the way, farm murders are 0,3% of all South African murders. Even if they are tripled, they still wouldn't reach 1%. More children are murdered in Cape Town in a year than farmers killed in the whole country over a decade. Farm attacks are just utter propaganda."

Y’all create this impression of a billionaire SAn who came the US to mess up your democracy. The “South Africa” stated contemptuously, as though we are complicit. I’ve never heard SA said like a slur until now, and that’s weird for 80% black majority with almost 0 chance of being billionaires.
