SARS issues apology as systems crash on Day 1 of tax season
While the South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) were quick to issue auto-assessment notices – as early as Sunday for some – logging on to the SARS eFiling system on Monday proved a nightmare.
The SARS Call Centre proved no more helpful.
SARS was forced to publish an apology on Monday afternoon on its social media pages.
'Our system is currently experiencing unusually high traffic volumes.
'We value your experience and appreciate your patience as our dedicated teams work diligently to resolve the issue and restore full service as quickly as possible.
'We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.'

Trump's tariff threat: implications for the BRICS bloc and global trade
South Africa will be hit with a 30% tariff on all its exports to the United States from August 1, following a formal letter from US President Donald Trump to President Cyril Ramaphosa demanding action on trade imbalances and long-standing market restrictions. Image: GCIS The threat of higher tariffs on BRICS nations by US President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate about the future of global trade and economic stability. According to Trump, BRICS, conceived two decades ago as a forum for fast-growing economies, and its growth and expansion pose a threat to US dominance in the global economy. At a recent summit in Rio de Janeiro, the 11-nation bloc, which includes South Africa Brazil, Russia, India, and China, criticised Trump's imposed tariffs. In response, Trump accused the group of "anti-Americanism" and pledged an additional 10 percent tariff on their goods. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has condemned Trump's threat, saying efforts to "punish" the bloc were disappointing. "BRICS does not seek to compete with any other power," Ramaphosa said on Monday. "The bloc advocates for the emergence of various centres of power in the world," he said. Video Player is loading.

"There should never be vengeance. There should never be retribution against countries that are seeking to cooperate and to advance the interests of humanity," he said. The potential impact of Trump's tariffs on South Africa's economy is a major concern to many organisations representing workers. Cosatu spokesperson Matthew Parks said the federation supports Ramaphosa's articulation in defence of the need for BRICS and how such multilateral engagements help strengthen world peace and boost trade and investment opportunities. 'Cosatu is deeply concerned about the 30% tariff announced by US President Donald Trump, because it will have a devastating impact on the economy that has been languishing at 1% growth rate and a shockingly high unemployment rate of 43.1%. He said sectors that would be hard hit included the automotive, agriculture, clothing, chemical and jewellery industries "Worryingly, the impact of the impending tariff is already being felt in the Eastern Cape with 900 jobs on the line at Good Year SA and Mercedes Benz 'temporarily' shutting down its vehicle production,' he said. Parks said it was clear that more engagement with the US government was required to find alternatives that would be beneficial for jobs and businesses in both countries. However, the South African Communist Party (SACP) spokesperson Mbulelo Ndlazana said that the party was not surprised by Trump's stance and South Africa should consider more options other than the US. 'The SACP has consistently advocated for an economic delinking South Africa from economies of the north, particularly the United States. 'The anticipated spinoffs of BRICS economic relationships and agreements have not yet materialised, providing insufficient cushioning for the South African economy from economic decisions and actions by the United States and the West. This reality exposes us to heightened economic peril,' Ndlazana said. Trade union Solidarity said South Africa can avoid the US's 30% trade tariff if Ramaphosa acts swiftly. It said that despite the tariff taking effect on August 1, negotiation room remains as it critised the government's inaction, noting that the US seeking both a political and economic settlement. Dr. Dirk Hermann, Solidarity CEO, said the SA government missed chances for a favorable trade deal, blaming "ideological narrow-mindedness and political arrogance" for potential job losses. He stresses the government's failure to understand the US's demands and South Africa's trade dependence. The Union highlighted South Africa's failure to escape tariffs unlike other nations. Hermann urged Ramaphosa to engage the Trump administration to avoid the tariff, warning it could effectively terminate the AGOA trade agreement, which Solidarity worked hard to preserve. International relations expert Dr. Noluthando Phungula believes that Trump's motivation for threatening the BRICS bloc is rooted in his desire to maintain US dominance in the global economy. "As the Head of State and a representative of the unipolar superpower bloc, Trump is reasonably threatened," Phungula said. "The BRICS expansion and growth speak to a clearer call from the Global South towards multilateralism. This inadvertently challenges Western dominance and calls for a reformation of international power structures,' Phungula said. She said South Africa should stand firm in the face of US pressure, particularly when considering the leveraging strategies used by Trump. Another international relations expert Saul Molobi, who is also a former Consul-General to Italy, BRICS does not directly compete with the US economy, but it does challenge America's global dominance. "It's a push for a multipolar system – from alternative development banks to talk of de-dollarisation – it chips away at Washington's leverage," Molobi said. "For Trump, that's a threat to his 'America First' worldview,' he said.

Trump's 30% tariffs could kill SA motor industry growth, warns union
President Donald Trump's decision to slap 30% tariffs on vehicles, components, tyres and parts exported from South Africa to the US will 'kill any possible economic growth in our country', the Motor Industry Staff Association (Misa) warned on Tuesday. Trump said the new tariffs, set to take effect on August 1, are necessary because South Africa exports more to the US than it imports, a claim local experts reject. Dawie Roodt, founder and chief economist of the Efficient Group, told Misa: 'Trump's figures are not based on actual figures, but everyone will feel the impact because it will hinder any economic growth. 'These tariffs take away any competitive edge South Africa had in competing with the global market,' he said. 'Small retailers have already stopped manufacturing because it will not be feasible to continue with the new export tariffs, or because of a reduced demand from US clients. 'We can now accept that Agoa (the African Growth and Opportunity Act) is dead. Under Agoa, more than 1,800 South African products and goods, including vehicles, components and parts, were exported to the US duty-free,' Roodt added. The blow comes just as unemployment in South Africa edged up to 32.9% in the first quarter of 2025, the highest since the second quarter of 2024. 'The population has seen a steady increase year-on-year, with a growth rate of 1.33%. We live in a country where our population growth exceeds our economic growth. This makes job creation highly unlikely,' Roodt said. Misa CEO Martlé Keyter added: 'The retail motor industry, in which Misa is the majority trade union, is already struggling amid the uncertainty of tariff increases which started when President Trump came into office earlier this year.' 'The union is experiencing an increase in employers closing their doors, restructuring in terms of Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act, or embarking on short time.' Tiekie Mocke, manager of Misa's legal department, said: 'The negative impact on exports forced an employer within the retail motor industry to cut a five-day work week to four days, effectively leaving employees out of pocket by at least one week's income per month. 'This was done proactively to prevent retrenchments but cannot continue indefinitely,' she added. Keyter urged the government to act decisively. 'This is not about who is right or wrong, but about what is in the best interest of South Africa.'

'Fans Will Never Understand' – AmaZulu CEO Weighs in on pending SuperSport United Sale
AmaZulu CEO Sinenjabulo Zungu © Gerhard Duraan/BackpagePix Image: Backpages AmaZulu CEO Sinenjabulo Zungu has delivered a firm defence of football club executives amid the growing backlash to the proposed sale of SuperSport United, arguing that fans rarely understand the true pressures of running a professional team. SuperSport United's shock decision to sell their club to a private consortium has caused ripples across South African football and is currently pending approval from the Premier Soccer League (PSL). While the finer details of the transaction remain under wraps, the response from supporters — particularly those loyal to Matsatsantsa — has been overwhelmingly negative. But Zungu, speaking candidly about the realities of football ownership at the launch of the KZN Premiers' Cup, said it was important for people to grasp how complicated club operations are behind the scenes. 'Fans will never understand — running a football club is extremely expensive,' she said. 'It's not even a question of sympathy, because why would they have sympathy for someone else's business?' Zungu suggested that supporters often view clubs with emotional attachment, but do not appreciate the commercial and structural demands that influence decision-making. 'You hear people ask why they sold this player or why they bought that player, and that's because of a lack of understanding,' she said. 'We forgive them (the fans), because they don't know — and I didn't know as well before I got into football. But these are the decisions that get taken daily. It's not personal — it's survival.' The pending sale of SuperSport, a club that has operated for years under the SuperSport television brand, signals a major shift in South African football's commercial landscape. Zungu said such transitions should not be viewed purely through an emotional lens. 'It's important to note — we don't just wake up and decide to let go of people,' she explained. 'There are negotiations that take place, assessments that must be made, and long-term planning involved. These are the two driving forces of running a football club on a daily basis.'
