We say #NoToBudget cuts. Budget cuts will kill our public health care system. We demand more funds.
#COSATU will once again demonstrate outside Parliament on 12 March to cement its stance against the #VAT or any personal income tax increase on low-income earners, and to call on govt to abandon its obsession with austerity budget cuts.@Treasury_RSA @Newzroom405 @GovernmentZA
