The EFF were marching against the government taking any additional loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to fund government policies.
Former Clover workers were concerned the government had no clear strategy on job creation.
Finance minister Enoch Godongwana is delivering his maiden budget speech and is expected to address job creation, state-owned entities and grant funding.
Ramaphosa is a puppet of American imperialism, says Floyd Shivambu, deputy leader of the EFF. @TimesLIVE #Budget2022 #budgetsession2022 pic.twitter.com/mvKMGGa0Rl
