Medium-term budget speech | Unions, political parties march to Parliament

CAPE TOWN - SAFTU plans to march to Parliament as the Finance Minister delivers his mid-term budget speech.

The federation will demonstrate against proposed budget cuts.

Minister Enoch Godongwana made suggestions that the budget will be grim, warning government does not have money.

He says it will have to cut some expenditure in order to reduce the deficit.

But unions believe this will negatively affect service delivery and impact the working class.

At the same time, Build One South Africa will hold a 'No tax increases' protest outside Parliament.

The party says the minister must use the opportunity to ease the cost-of-living crisis.
