End Budget Cuts and Austerity

End budget cuts and austerity, and instead invest in public services, jobs, and a Universal Basic Income Grant.

We, the people of South Africa, are requesting that the government puts an end to the policy of budget cuts that are crippling the public sector and harming the poor and unemployed. Instead, we ask that the government reinvest in funding local governments, services such as healthcare and education, fixing our SOEs, and expanding key support through a Universal Basic Income Grant.

Why is this important?

Public services are not luxuries; they are essential to a fair and functioning society. However, year after year, budget cuts have weakened these services, causing hardship for the working class while the wealthiest remain unaffected. 

We refuse to stand by while our communities are neglected and subjected to abject poverty. Ours is a continuous campaign, and we urge South Africans to sign this petition to raise their voices against austerity policies and advocate for more equitable economic policies.
