Tax the Cash-based Informal Sector
Support our petition to unlock South Africa’s R750 billion informal economy by introducing a secure digital rand and making banking services affordable for all. By enabling digital transactions, we can bring millions of informal businesses into the tax system, generating up to R20 billion annually for essential services like healthcare, housing, and education. With four key pillars—digital currency, affordable banking, business incentives, and policy support—this campaign aims to transform financial inclusion and service delivery nationwide. Sign now to help build a fairer, digitally empowered South Africa.
