ActionSA criticizes 2024 mid-term budget promises

ActionSA says the 2024 mid-term budget fails to meet the government of National Unity’s promises. Party representative Alan Beesley welcomed increased SARS funding but criticised the 1.1-percent economic growth projection, saying it falls short of the needed three-percent.

Beesley argues that government neglects economic stability, keeping a bloated cabinet while essential services like policing, healthcare, and education suffer. He labels the budget’s priorities as misplaced, calling for urgent focus on South Africa’s pressing challenges.
