South African Men to be taxed for being single
Well, adult males in Nguthu, a township in northern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa are facing an extra burden for not taking courage to marry off women!
The males above 18 are expected to pay an annual tax imposed by the local authorities.
According to reports, the tax is to a tune of 50 Rands (about Shs13,000) payable once a year till marriage.
While the youths aired their grievances saying it’s oppression, the local authorities defended the tax, just like our social media tax, saying revenue is needed for development!
Traditionally, unmarried females are exempted from paying the tax since it’s a man’s duty to take care of a home.
On behalf of the unmarried, let’s pray our MPs don’t pick this idea!
