South Africa reverses VAT increase plan, facing a 75 billion rand budget gap.
South Africa's government has reversed its plan to increase the Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate, creating a budget shortfall of around 75 billion rand.
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will now have to devise a new fiscal framework to address this deficit.
The decision came after strong opposition from political parties and public resistance amid economic challenges.
While the reversal is seen as a victory for those opposing the tax hike, it raises concerns about how the government will cover the lost revenue without cutting essential services.
