# Ekurhuleni mayoral committee member for Finance, Jongizizwe Dlabathi, says they will continue to engage with political parties to find a way for the proposed 2026/2027 budget to be passed. The budget failed to pass for a fourth consecutive time yesterday, with 95 councillors voting in favour and 105 against. The ANC-led coalition now has until the end of this month to secure support for a lawful budget, failing which the metro could face provincial intervention. Dlabathi has urged parties to engage with maturity.
