“If we don’t fight neoliberalism in South Africa, austerity in South Africa, then we don’t have the right to take this fight in Africa, in the Global South. The international struggle is a local struggle, but we need to win this fight at home” Zwelinzima Vavi SAFTU

"The current tax system allows billionaires to pay significantly less tax, highlighting the need for a minimum tax to ensure the wealthy pay a fair share. Minimum tax should be based on wealth rather than income as the wealthy can structure their wealth to avoid high tax rates."
