Where your tax money goes — how the state spends every R100
Ever wonder where your taxes are going? Budget 3.0 lays it bare: For every R100 spent, about R13 goes to basic education, R12 to social protection and more than R16 vanishes into debt service costs. Meanwhile, just cents trickle towards arts, job creation and innovation. Some of these expenditure categories seem a bit vague. Let's break them down: Social security funds refers specifically to financial reserves and schemes like the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), and the Compensation Fund, which provide temporary relief of cover for specific social risks. Community development typically includes spending on housing, local amenities, and urban or rural development projects aimed at improving living conditions, especially in under-resourced areas. Economic regulation and infrastructure covers the funding of regulatory bodies as well as infrastructure investments in roads, railways, ports, and other public utilities. Public administration and fiscal affairs involves the National Treasury, tax collection, budgeting, auditing, and general bureaucratic oversight.

WC women farmworkers call for Labour Dept to enforce laws on commercial farms
CAPE TOWN - Women farmworkers from various parts of the Western Cape are calling on the Department of Employment and Labour to enforce labour laws on commercial farms in the province. They took their grievances to the department's doorsteps on Tuesday in the Cape Town CBD. They're accusing the department of ignoring their complaints of labour rights violations by farm owners. A group of women seasonal farmworkers under the banner of Women on Farms Project are demanding the enforcement of all labour laws, including the National Minimum Wage Act. Handing over a memorandum of grievances on Tuesday afternoon, spokesperson Daniel Samuel said they also wanted the department to issue fines and penalties to non-compliant farms. "We demand a meeting with provincial staff, the inspectorate, heads of labour centres from Worcester, De Doorns, Ceres, Paarl, and Somerset West, including Dr Bax, who is heading the Compensation Fund by no later than 6 June 2025." They're also demanding the fast-tracking of UIF applications, especially those of women seasonal farmworkers.
