'Abolish pink tax'

When responding to the Budget Speech on Monday, which was read earlier this month by Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Thapelo Matsheka at the National Assembly, Keorapetse said; “We vehemently reject all increase of hidden taxes in the form of service fees and levies because our people are already burdened by black tax and low wages. Please abolish Pink Tax; we believe that tampons, sanitary napkins, menstrual cups, and comparable products are basic, unavoidable necessities for women and should be made tax exempt”. 

He said rather government should consider weighted tax on luxury goods.
