- The EFF is demanding the immediate resignation of Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana and National Treasury Director-General Duncan Pieterse following the cancellation of the proposed VAT hike.
- The VAT increase, originally set to take effect on May 1, was scrapped after extensive consultations with political parties and parliamentary committee recommendations.
- While the EFF welcomed the reversal, spokesperson Sinawo Thambo criticized the 2025 budget as misguided and inadequate in addressing South Africa's economic challenges.
- The EFF calls for a full withdrawal and reset of the budget proposals, deeming them illegal and unconstitutional, as other parties sought alternative solutions to eliminate the VAT increase.
"This entire budget fiasco should be a reflection for the finance minister and his director-general that they are out of depth and pose a threat to the economic stability of the country and, by consequence, are a threat to the livelihoods of South Africans."— Sinawo Thambo, EFF spokesperson, regarding the reversal of the proposed VAT hike.
