RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Wat die finansminister se tweede probeerslag van verlede Woensdag betref om die nasionale begroting in die parlement ter tafel te lê, hou die land en sy mense nou vir die volgende 16 dae asem op.
 Suid-Afrika sit vir die eerste keer in ‘n baie lang tyd met ‘n regering van nasionale eenheid (RNE) waarin die ANC nie ‘n volstrekte meerderheid het om die begroting aanvaar te kry nie. Die DA en verskeie ander partye het intussen laat blyk dat hulle nie vir ‘n begroting met ‘n verhoging in BTW te vinde is nie. 

Dawid and Jacqui Fraser of 53 Soetdoring Avenue, Protea Park, in front of their home where virtually everything the family owned burnt down during a fire last Wednesday.

RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Solidariteit se regspan het ‘n regsaanmaning aan die minister van handel, nywerheid en mededinging, Parks Tau, gestuur waarin die onwettige en diskriminerende aard van die beplande R100 miljard-rasfonds uitgewys word. Deur hierdie regsproses verskerp Solidariteit sy teenstand teen dié beplande rasfonds, wat aan al die eienskappe van nóg ‘n verrykingskema vir die politieke elite voldoen, en wat nie deur ‘n administrasie wat tans ‘n begrotingskrisis in die gesig staar, bekostig kan word nie.
