The money public servants are being paid needs to come down. The money ministers are making needs to come down. We need to decrease tax and restrictions on foreign companies to increase interest in opening in south Africa because BEE helps nothing, I don't know any black person that is benefitting.

Tax payers need relief to stay being loyal to the system... Otherwise we will get more fake goods and many more illegal businesses... The system can only help itself if it does not encourage fraudulent and criminal activity.. Hence more revenue for Sars
