@ngadaattorneys: 📢 EFF and DA Unite to Challenge VAT Hike in Court Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi appeared in the Western Cape High Court on behalf of the EFF, challenging the legality of the government’s proposed 0.5% VAT increase, set to kick in on 1 May 2025. The EFF — joined by the DA — argues that the hike was rushed through Parliament without proper debate or scrutiny, violating democratic procedures and harming low-income South Africans the most. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana defends the hike as a necessary move to tackle fiscal pressures. 🇿🇦💼 #VATChallenge #EFF #DA #TembekaNgcukaitobi #WesternCapeHighCourt #TaxJustice #SouthAfricaPolitics #FiscalPolicy #InequalityMatters #DemocracyInAction #VAT #0.5 #vatincrease
