The MEC says even if another political party takes over the province, monetary considerations are most likely to remain the the same
PIETERMARITZBURG - KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC Belinda Scott says the provincial budget is unlikely to change after the elections because of the strict fiscal measures imposed by National Treasury.
Scott delivered the medium-term expenditure framework in the Legislature in Pietermaritzburg on Thursday afternoon. She said even if another party takes over government, the monetary considerations are more or less going to remain the same. “We can let you know how much the whole house budget is, but you really need to direct these questions on how the budget is determined to the House budget to the Honourable Premier.”

BY-ELECTIONS: ANC has a big night in Northern KZN, making gains against IFPThe ANC took two wards off the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), gaining wards in eNdumeni (Dundee) and uMhlabuyalingana in the far northern part of the province. The win in eNdumeni gave the party outright control of the council. The ANC has now won three wards off the IFP in northern KwaZulu-Natal since December 2018 and are rebounding against the IFP in this battleground part of the province. There were four other KwaZulu-Natal by-elections with the IFP and EFF registering good gains in some of the races. The DA had a convincing hold in Nelson Mandela Bay and the ANC largely held their ground in a Limpopo by-election.
