Budget Speech 2025: DA officially rejects budget in current formSpeaking ahead of Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s long-awaited address, DA leader John Steenhuisen confirmed that the budget has lost his party’s support.Steenhuisen spoke outside the Nieuwmeester Dome where the Budget Speech 2025 was set to take place, confirming that the ruling party would not be backed by the DA.
“I cannot talk about what has happened in the Cabinet Room, that is bound by Cabinet confidentiality so I cannot give any background on that. What I can say is the Democratic Alliance will not be supporting the Budget in its current form and therefore the Budget being tabled today does not have the Parliamentary majority.” Steenhuisen confirmed.
“Members of Parliament have the power to not only reject the budget, but to amend it. It is time for opposition parties to unite and amend the proposed budget for the first time in our democracy. Parliamentarians Have The Power To Reject A VAT Increase And Develop A Jobs And Growth Budget!” The EFF commented.The two Ndimande brothers were arrested in Eswatini last year in connection of the murder of AKA and Tibz but refused to return to SA.
