Welcome to the South African Constitutional Property Rights Foundation (SACPRIF), a Cape Town-based public benefit organisation.
Our Mission:
The income tax and VAT Acts are universally condemned because they discourage work, investment and trade and make land unaffordable for millions. This contradicts the Constitution and SACPRIF is working to correct this.
Land rents: the gold carat of job creation
How the gradual replacement of income taxes and VAT with land rents will double GDP growth and make a hectare of arable land affordable to every South African.
