United Kingdom South African budget hikes taxes, caps spending growth
Published on 25/02/2015
The South African government raised taxes and capped spending growth in its annual budget Wednesday as Africa's most developed economy wrestles with stalling growth, rising debt, power blackouts and rampant unemployment.
Projected economic growth for 2015 is just 2.0 percent, down from 2.5 percent forecast in October last year, Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene told parliament.
