Anc, Da Fail To Reach Agreement Over Passing Of Budget

The African National Congress ANC and the Democratic Alliance DA have once again failed to reach an agreement on the budget speech tabled by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana.

Last night, DA and ANC negotiators met for a final round of negotiations ahead of the parliamentary sitting this week.

The DA would accept the VAT increase of 0,5 and in return wanted the NHI, Bela and Expropriation Acts repealed.

However, the ANC refused.

In the second round of negotiations, the DA wanted to formulate the economic and International Relations policies for the country with the ANC but that was also rejected.
