ANC defends Finance minister amid EFF resignation calls

# ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says calls for Finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s resignation are unjustified unless linked to specific policy or legal failures. This comes after the EFF demanded his resignation following a court ruling suspending the VAT increase. The Western Cape High Court also overturned Parliament’s earlier adoption of the fiscal report. Bhengu-Motsiri says Godongwana has not violated his oath of office, and the ANC welcomes the court’s decision on the VAT hike.
