Willem Petzer is taking a stand against mismanagement of taxpayers money

Loading player...
Willem Petzer is the leader of the Taxpayers Union of SA. He uses social media to raise his concerns about how SA tax monies are used by the government and his forthright views are again attracting attention. Under the appealing title of “Want to stop funding the ANC with YOUR tax money? Here’s how…” Petzer’s 18 minute YouTube video has been viewed 54 000 times in under a week. A good start, but some way from the 1.5m people he expects will sign up to the new Taxpayers Union of SA which intends using existing laws to act against central government and municipalities that Petzer says are abusing money entrusted to them. Willem joined the BizNews Power Hour team together with Magnus Heystek to discuss how he plans to reach these numbers.
