ActionSA Concludes Productive Meeting with the ANC Over Budget Crisis
Press Statement by Michael Beaumont
ActionSA National Chairperson
ActionSA concluded a productive meeting with the ANC NWC Delegation this morning pertaining to efforts to resolve the national budget impasse.
The meeting addressed a number of realities pertaining to the challenging fiscal environment in which this national budget is being considered.
Key to the discussion was a clear mutual commitment to ensure revenue alternatives are tabled that will identify alternatives to the VAT increase. In this regard both parties are unequivocally committed to this process and to shield South Africans from any increase before 1 May 2025.
No discussion of any kind took place regarding a reconstituted GNU. At ActionSA’s insistence, discussions were limited exclusively to the fiscal framework and the budget.
As a constructive opposition party, ActionSA is committed to play a critical role to ensure this budget crisis is ended without South Africans having to pay for the internal powerplays within the GNU.
