The SACP says they are opposed to government's plan to implement austerity measures.

South African Communist Party General-Secretary Solly Mapaila says they are totally opposed to government’s plan to implement austerity measures.

The SACP says the Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s proposed spending cuts are an inappropriate response to the country’s economic problems. “What we’re opposed to and both denounce and reject is austerity among others. Austerity involves cutting government service delivery and development expenditure, including redistributing programmes and withdrawing from advancing any real economic stimulus. The National Treasury says national departments, public entities and provinces must stop all new personnel recruitments and infrastructure development immediately. We reject this with the contempt that it deserves.
