Daily Digest | Government proposing a 20% tax on online gambling. Why we need to participate in public proposals

The National Treasury is giving the public another month to comment on a proposal to introduce a 20% tax on online gambling.

Mpho Mashita and Jones Netshipise talk to Thabiso Mongane, Development Strategist and Economist about why South Africans need to participate in public hearings and proposals and what this tax would mean.
