What was that phrase, βVat hom, Fluffie!β? Well, I think we can all agree that by suggesting a two percentage point increase in VAT, our finance minister was really going for it. The budget and the proposed VAT increase was, somewhat inevitably, the main topic of conversation between entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Daily Maverick editor at large Tim Cohen in our latest podcast. One question remains: what about looking at a few savings here and there? Just asking. We also cover other issues of national and global importance, like investments, sovereign wealth funds and smelly feet.
