# The ANC Youth League has welcomed the scrapping of the proposed VAT increase, calling it a major win for South Africa’s working class and poor. The League credits Parliament’s democratic process and oversight and not party theatrics for the decision. Commending the focus on pro-poor alternatives, the league says the outcome affirms the power of people’s voices in shaping policy and vows to keep pushing for radical, transformative fiscal justice.
