# The ANC Veterans’ League is calling for a constructive, informed, and sober debate on the budget. This is as another special cabinet meeting is scheduled for today to consider alternative proposals to a two-percentage-point hike in value-added tax, as proposed in the rejected February budget. ANC Veterans’ League president, Snuki Zikalala, says the government should avoid drastic expenditure slashing and must also be mindful of the sentiment of citizens, who struggle with high unemployment and the ongoing high cost of living.
