The MK Party held a lively protest in Pretoria against a proposed 2% VAT hike, which they believe unfairly burdens workingclass people. Activists gathered passionately, calling for the government to find better solutions to the R60 billion budget deficit, like tackling tax evasion by big companies. Mzwanele Manyi, a leader in the party, criticized the government for ignoring their concerns and argued that the proposed measures wouldn’t help those struggling with rising costs. This event echoed South Africa’s fight for justice, showing how deeply the community cares about economic fairness.
The Department of Employment and Labour pays tribute to Dr. Dennis George, an influential leader in the labour movement, political activism, and business leadership, who has left a lasting impact on South African society. Despite his untimely passing, his legacy and numerous contributions to the labour market policies will be remembered and continue to influence the nation for years to come.
