Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik het die Nasionale Tesourie se voorstelle om BTW te verhoog en persoonlike inkomstebelastingskale onveranderd te laat, verwerp, en dit as onregverdig teenoor 'n reeds oorlaaide belastingbetalersbasis beskryf. Die organisasie voer aan dat hierdie verhogings plaasvind terwyl miljarde verlore gaan weens korrupsie, ondoeltreffendheid en vermorsing. Outa se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage sê die verkoop van nie-noodsaaklike ondernemings in staatsbesit sal inkomste genereer, verantwoordelikhede verminder en die regering se doeltreffendheid verbeter.

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik sê hy is bekommerd oor politieke partye se openbare gekibbel oor poste in die regering van nasionale eenheid. OUTA se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage, sê dit kan die vorming van ʼn stabiele en volhoubare RNE in gedrang bring terwyl die land dit dringend nodig het. Duvenage sê as meer tyd nodig is om ʼn vriendskaplike en werkbare ooreenkoms te bereik, verkies OUTA dat dit ʼn week of twee langer duur eerder as ʼn oorhaastige proses wat tot voortdurende konflik lei.

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik sê koalisiregerings sal waarskynlik die norm word in Suid-Afrika en uitdagings sowel as geleenthede meebring. Die organisasie sê hoewel die onsekerheid mense kan ontstel, bevorder koalisies deursigtigheid en aanspreeklikheid namate partye saamwerk en ooreenkomste vir doeltreffende bestuur bereik. Dit het ten doel om te verseker openbare fondse word verantwoordelik gebruik en korrupsie word uitgeroei. Die uitvoerende hoof van Outa, Wayne Duvenage, sê ministers wat swak presteer moet verwyder word.

The Q&A session at BNC#6 in Hermanus between Alec Hogg and Wayne Duvenage delved into the need for leveraging the constitution and rule of law to hold municipalities accountable for their duties.

They discussed the importance of citizen involvement in local politics and the shortcomings of big business in supporting civil society initiatives. Duvenage emphasised the power of collective action in driving change and suggested alternative methods for funding activism. The dialogue also touched on the potential outcomes of upcoming elections, with predictions of decreased support for the ANC and potential growth for smaller parties.

Wayne Duvenage , CEO at Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) explains to Motheo Khoaripe what the scrapping of e-tolls means to the businesses that have been paying for them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The e-tolls are finally being scrapped on 12 April 2024, but some reports say SA residents will still have to pay for outstanding e-toll bills. Breakfast with Martin Bester spoke to The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) CEO Wayne Duvenage who set the record straight.

Die uitvoerende hoof van die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik, Wayne Duvenage, sê die e-tol-fiasko was 'n harde les vir die Suid-Afrikaanse regering. Hy sê die skema het al die tekens van mislukking getoon lank voor dit in Desember 2013 van stapel gestuur is, maar die regering het voortgegaan sonder om na sy burgers te luister. Duvenage sê die regering het vir jare daarmee volgehou, wat gelei het tot die vermorsing van miljarde Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan belastingbetalersgeld.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has slammed The Draft Integrated Resource Plan 2023 (IRP 2023) as “sloppy, inaccurate, out of date”. OUTA's CEO Wayne Duvenage says it is so “inadequate that it makes a mockery of the public engagement process”. He warns that if it is not torn up and redone properly, OUTA will go to court. “We need our government to actually start applying the demands when it comes to what is in the best interests of this country, of business, of the economy and its people and the consumers. And they're not demonstrating that. So what we believe will happen going forward is if they don't demonstrate that on this specific matter, then they will be hauled off to court.”

OUTA CEO Wayne Duvenage delivered an impassioned keynote speech at BNC#6 in Hermanus, highlighting the power of civil society in challenging corruption. He emphasised the need for co-governance, coalition governments, and active citizen participation to address critical issues like the failed E-toll scheme and the challenges facing cities like Johannesburg. Duvenage urged corporate South Africa to invest in communities and support civil activism, emphasising that constructive action is key to fixing the country's problems.

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik is skepties oor die regering se onlangse kernkragverkrygingsplan en die beleggingsooreenkoms tussen PetroSA en Gazprombank, omdat dit nie deursigtig en rasioneel is nie.

This interview highlights the importance of upholding democratic principles and ensuring transparency in the electoral process - something far from guaranteed in what is shaping up to be a watershed election for the young democracy.  Learn more about your ad choices.
