Here’s something positive we can do tomorrow to make a difference in our country: The second biggest source of tax income for the government after personal income tax is VAT. Govt gets 14 % on every transaction involving services, processed goods, everything except a few basic foodstuffs, at every point along the value chain. So you can make April 7 a day on which the Zuma government earns NO VAT by not buying any commodities, any airtime, not paying for any services, not taking a taxi, not buying any tickets or petrol, not even doing any banking transactions. To be part of this you have to plan ahead so that from midnight on Thurs 6 to midnight on Fri 7 April you don’t generate any VAT for the government because the people have been chanting “This is OUR economy not yours Mr. Zuma”.
