NATIONAL BUDGET SPEECH
TACTICAL CAMPAIGN
The National Budget Speech is a hot (and often controversial) topic every year in South Africa. The actual information shared can be overwhelming and difficult to digest. To give people an instant idea of how the redistribution of would affect their day to day lives, we created infographic-style GIFs and tweeted them the moment the Finance Minister made his announcements.
