CAPE TOWN - In a dramatic turn of events the much-awaited 2025 Budget Speech scheduled for 19 February has been postponed.
This comes as there have been disagreements within the Government of National Unity over the budget.
This was announced by National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza
"While today we have been gathered here to have the minister of finance to present the budget to the house that there has not been agreement in terms of parties in the executive to find one another in proposals of the budget," she said.
As a result of this, the speaker has postponed the budget speech to March 2025.
"The cabinet decided not to come and do a presentation of the budget and allow themselves enough time to re-look the budget and come back to this house in March the time in which they will inform us."
