💨 Abstract

South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA) rejected the country's contested budget, marking a significant challenge to the broad coalition government formed last year. The budget, delayed from its initial February presentation, has been criticized for proposals to raise value-added tax and not adjust personal income tax brackets for inflation. The DA, along with other opposition parties, argue that the process leading to its approval was flawed.
