Dr Frans Cronjé: DA has no choice - it MUST reject VAT increase or SA will fail

With his typically no-nonsense approach to important national issues, political scientist Dr Frans Cronjé explains why the Democratic Alliance is right to risk sacrificing the Government of National Unity by steadfastly rejecting the ANC’s proposed VAT increase. He says there are many other ways of addressing the matter - but for the DA to go along with a move Cronjé regards as inexplicable, it will support policies that guarantee a continued slide in SA’s economic prospects. Cronjé also addresses the other significant issues of the moment in conversation with BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
