Big trouble brews in South Africa as the two main ruling parties clash over money plans. The African National Congress and Democratic Alliance just had a nasty fight about taxes. The DA said no to higher sales taxes and demanded the government spend less cash. The ANC refused because they believed cuts would harm regular people who needed help.
The ANC found friends among smaller parties and passed their plan anyway. They won by 194 votes to 182. This made the DA super mad, and they rushed straight to court, saying rules were broken during the vote. DA leaders must decide if they want to stay part of what locals call the unity government.
A smart professor from Johannesburg named William Gumede thinks the DA might hang around a bit...
