# Build One South Africa has urged government to scrap the two-billion-rand VIP protection budget for politicians and use it to hire more teachers, nurses and police members. Ahead of tomorrow’s medium-term budget policy statement, BOSA spokesperson Roger Solomons warns that South Africa faces slow growth, high debt and worsening unemployment, especially among young people. He says frontline services cannot face further cuts, calling for an end to political luxuries.
