JOHANNESBURG - ANC and ActionSA leaders have met over the budget impasse.
The ANC says the two parties recognise the urgent need to resolve the matter, and hope to identify viable alternatives to the VAT increase.
Nothing beyond the fiscal framework and budgetary issues was tabled, with a follow-up meeting planned for the coming week.
The ANC says it is committed to resolving the budget deadlock and is open to engage with all parliamentary stakeholders.
Michael Beaumont, national chairperson of ActionSA unpacked this with eNCA.
