You can't create equality with BEE, when the unemployment rate is 40%+. You need to create jobs and no-one will invest in a country with race base laws like BEE.

VAT deal means GNU stays — just in time as new survey shows South Africans are gatvol of the drama
A deal that saw the National Treasury drop the VAT increase and reach a possible out-of-court settlement on the DA’s VAT case has probably saved the Government of National Unity.

Indeed, some secret backroom deals is not good PR and a waste of the court process.

The political party support is all you need to know that the poll is absolute rubbish, especially on the MK part.

a mere technicality then? nobody is going to actually implement it given all the announcements
also, isn't the DA's court battle in part to challenge the minister's authority to simply proclaim a new VAT rate? in which case he has now proclaimed it staying at 15%, legally sorted, unless the court rules that he doesn't have that power and thereby nullifies both his proclamations ... same outcome though

e.g. are they asking people to answer in terms of the "future coalition" they want to see or the "future coalition" they believe is likely to transpire?

This. That survey is pretty much useless.

Because most of the time those surveys and polls are designed to drive a particular agenda and not to get clear picture of people's sentiments
