The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) is leading a march to Parliament ahead of the medium-term budget policy statement (MTBPS) today. The action comes ahead of signs of further budget cuts, reduced social spending, and increased economic strain on working-class families. COSATU and civil society organisations want the minister to address the country's high unemployment rate and to implement a basic income grant, among other demands. Protesters are calling for the Minister to table a budget that speaks to the needs of poor and working-class South Africans. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Mlamli Maneli
