The ANC Western Cape legislature caucus statement on the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement 2021

The ANC in the Legislature believes rushing and pushing the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement and 2021 Municipal Review and Outlook (MERO) through the Western Cape Parliament is a deliberate attempt to escape scrutiny and makes a mockery of the DA’s professed commitment to clean and open government.  These Budget adjustments are removed from the material conditions of the most vulnerable Western Cape citizens as exposed by the recent LGE2021. This Budget can be described as a “No” Budget. There are no plans to create jobs, no plans to transform the ownership of the provincial economy, no plans to support small and medium enterprises. There are no plans to build the township economy. No plans to support land redistribution.
