Calls For Godongwana's Resignation Unjustifiable: Anc

The African National Congress ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says the call for Finance Minister Enoch Godongwanas resignation can only be justified if there is a failure to adhere to specific policies.

Her comments follow the Economic Freedom Fighters' EFF call for Godongwana to resign after a court rulin g, which suspended the Value-Added Tax VAT increase, preventing the hike from taking effect on Thursday.

The Western Cape High Court issued the ruling on Sunday, also overturning the National Assemblys resolution that had adopted the report from the Joint Standing Committee on Finance regarding the Fiscal Framework and Revenue proposals earlier this month.

Godongwana had earlier withdrawn the VAT hike.

Bhengu-Motsiri says they welcome the court ruling.
