🔴EFF Threatens Again Court Action Over ‘Unlawful’ Handling of Rates Bill and Fiscal Framework🔴
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has once again threatened to take legal action over what it calls the “unlawful” handling of the Rates and Monetary Amounts and Amendment of Revenue Laws Bill and the 2025 Fiscal Framework. This bold move comes amid a heated battle over South Africa’s budget process, sparked by a controversial proposal to increase Value-Added Tax (VAT) and a recent court ruling that has turned the nation’s fiscal plans upside down. On Tuesday, 28 April 2025, EFF National Spokesperson Sinawo Thambo announced that the party had sent a formal letter to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ms Thoko Didiza, and the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Dr Joseph Maswanganyi, demanding answers and warning of court action if their concerns are ignored.
