  • Democratic Alliance says reversal of VAT decision a victory for all South Africans

    The Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana is expected to shortly introduce the Rates and Monetary Amounts and the Amendment of Revenue Laws Bill (Rates Bill), which proposes to maintain the Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate at 15 per cent from 1 May 2025, instead of the proposed increase to VAT announced in the Budget in March. The Democratic Alliance, who challenged the VAT increase through the courts, has hailed the about-turn as a victory for all South Africans due to the financial burden it would have created. Lester Kiewit spoke to Karabo Khakhau, National Spokesperson for the Democratic Alliance.

  • Between the Cracks: a retrospective collection from photojournalist

    Raised in a liberal household, photojournalist Paul Weinberg was launched into his career quite by accident – it was simply what he had to do to escape the military police who were constantly trying to arrest him for being a conscientious objector. He is currently launching his latest book, “Between the Cracks”, a retrospective collection of his photos taken around South Africa between the late 1970s to early 2000s. Lester Kiewit speaks to him about his journey as a photographer, archivist, curator, filmmaker, writer, and educationalist.
