At a pre-budget speech press briefing, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni said the government could no longer afford to sit back and watch controversial "men of the cloth" flaunt their wealth while they found creative ways of evading tax. He has announced taxes for their sins, which according to Mboweni included not paying taxes, while their congregants were paying contributions, and announced increases in the usual sin taxes including alcohol, hubbly-bubbly and vaping.
