How is ActionSA's goal scoring looking like? Is tax bracket creep still unaddressed? I am not watching this, so OP needs to report.

Bracket Creep is still unaddressed.

I expect Herman to say nary a word about being owned again.

They ran out of airtime.

 

[R13...]

I see the ZAR is under 18 now. I wonder if it's the budget or the trump meet up.

It reads like a 'good guy' advertisement.

Few small tweaks and lots of promises it seems, but by and large yes.

Budget 3.0 is a disaster and not the pro-growth budget South Africans were promised. Replacing a VAT increase with a fuel levy increase will drive up the cost of living for South Africans with NOTHING being done to cut the cost of ofbthe biggest cabinet in SA history.
