Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has scrapped the proposed VAT hike, and while many are celebrating, they're also suggesting how the government can save more money.

ActionSA has accused the DA of using the budget speech for political gain, saying that a DA MP was complicit in planning the VAT hike that the party objected to.

Herman Mashaba has expressed unhappiness with the government spending billions on foreign missions when there were services in the country that needed funding.

The African National Congress may have to abandon the proposed VAT increase in this year's budget as numerous parties continued to oppose its implementation.

ActionSA's Mpumalanga spokesperson Thoko Mashiane criticised the South African Police Service's policing in the province after an alleged serial rapist was arrested.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended the need for deputy ministers, despite calls for the size of cabinet to be reduced in order to save the government billions.

The Parliamentary leader of ActionSA, Athol Trollip, said Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen is not transparent about the money he spends on travelling.

ActionSA supported the budget on condition that the ANC finds an alternative to the VAT increase within 30 days, but Cyril Ramaphosa has admitted this isn't easy.

The president of ActionSA, Herman Mashaba, said that the party would join the Government of National Unity if the African National Congress approached it.
