South Africa's EFF party seeks to block fuel tax increase
JOHANNESBURG - South African ultra-left opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) went to court on Tuesday to try to block a fuel tax increase that the finance minister proposed in last month's budget. The 4% increase in the levy South Africans pay on petrol and diesel is due to kick in on Wednesday, but the EFF wants the High Court to suspend it on the basis that it is unjust and that the minister did not follow proper parliamentary process. "This increase places an unjust burden on the working class and the poor, who are already reeling from rising costs of living, stagnant wages, and ongoing economic hardship," the EFF said in a statement before a court hearing in Cape Town. In a sworn statement, Minister Enoch Godongwana said he had the right to raise the fuel levy and that the EFF's case appeared aimed at blocking passage of the budget, which he already had revised twice due to disagreements in the coalition government. Godongwana said that if the court blocks the tax increase, it would leave a revenue shortfall of at least 3.5 billion rand ($196 million), which would have to be recovered through additional borrowing, taxes or spending cuts. He has already backtracked on a contentious plan to raise value-added tax, under pressure from the second-biggest political party in the coalition, the Democratic Alliance, and others outside it. Investors want to see evidence that Africa's biggest economy can rein in spending and hit revenue targets after a steep rise in public debt over the past two decades.

South African economy barely grows in first quarter
PRETORIA - South Africa's economy stagnated in the first quarter, eking out quarter-on-quarter growth of just 0.1%, as contractions in sectors like mining and manufacturing offset a strong performance by agriculture. Africa's biggest economy has struggled to build momentum since the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, with annual growth averaging less than 1% over the past decade. Business and consumer confidence has picked up since the formation of a coalition government last year, but that is yet to translate into higher levels of output. Tuesday's data was marginally better than expected, as economists polled by Reuters had predicted gross domestic product (GDP) would be unchanged from the previous quarter in seasonally adjusted terms. But analysts and the country's top statistics official said the weak growth was worrying. "Our economy is not growing sufficiently, ... and at this state, it is easy for it to slide into the negative," Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke told a press conference. The agriculture sector grew more than 15% in the first quarter, making the biggest contribution to growth. But mining shrank 4% and manufacturing 2%. Statistics South Africa revised down its estimate of fourth-quarter growth to 0.4% quarter-on-quarter, from an initial estimate of 0.6%. Capital Economics said in a research note that the data showed South Africa's economic recovery was losing momentum, strengthening the case for more interest rate cuts from the central bank. The country's coalition government is trying to lift the growth rate through reforms, but longstanding problems like logistics bottlenecks at the ports and on the freight rail network are only slowly easing. First-quarter GDP increased 0.8% year on year, versus forecasts for 0.7% growth. Last week, the central bank revised down its 2025 growth forecast to 1.2% from 1.7%.
