Budget 2025 passed but DA and EFF vow to challenge

DEMOCRATIC Alliance (DA) is on its way to the courts after the ANC-led government managed to gather support for the budget to be passed in Parliament without its approval as the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Parliament has passed the budget with 194 MPs voting in favour and 182 voting against. The adoption of the fiscal framework enables Parliament to proceed with the consideration of the remaining Budget legislation. The standing finance committee considered the report on Tuesday in a sitting in Parliament.

DA leader John Steenhuisen said his party will file court papers to challenge Parliament's passing of the 2025/26 Budget.
