CAPE TOWN - UMkhonto weSizwe Party parliamentary leader John Hlophe has suggested that the country should buy cheaper oil from Iran, tax foreign companies more and reintroduce compulsory military service.

Hlophe said rather than borrow money from Western-based institutions like the International Monetary Fund , government should turn to the BRICS Bank.
