EFF criticises the DA and ActionSA for helping the ANC pass Ekurhuleni’s budget

# The EFF says the DA and ActionSA have betrayed the people of Ekurhuleni by helping the ANC adopt an anti-poor, unfunded budget that doesn’t support insourcing. The metro’s 71-billion-rand 2026/2027 budget has passed after three previous failed attempts. The EFF says it voted against the budget as it remains disconnected from the realities of declining service delivery, deteriorating infrastructure and over-reliance on contracted services. It adds that the repeated failure by the ANC to pass its own budget demonstrated the consequences of governing through arrogance rather than consultation.
