# The ANC in Ekurhuleni has criticised the EFF for joining forces with the DA and the Freedom Front Plus to oppose the 71-billion-rand 2026/2027 budget. During an extraordinary council meeting yesterday, the budget failed to secure the required support, with 96 councillors voting in favour and 105 against. The ANC says that the parties that have opposed the budget have effectively turned their backs on the voices of residents who participated in the consultation process and expressed their urgent need for improved service delivery.
