Parliament has budgeted between R6 million and R14 million for their opening address, scheduled to take place this evening at the Cape Town City Hall. This significant event occurs once every five years following the provincial and national elections, serving to outline the new administration’s plans and officially inaugurate the new five-year parliamentary term.
Earlier this year, George noted that Parliament has nearly doubled its budget for the seventh administration, allocating R58 million. "In 2019, we budgeted R43 million for transition; in 2024, we budgeted R58 million. The budgeting is to make transitions for candidates, for flights, accommodation, tools of trade, inductions, and more.” Considering our government's history of fund allocation, that "and more" leaves us Saffas feeling somewhat suspicious and bothered.
