Tshwane budget out of touch with reality

During today’s reply to the Tshwane Metro’s budget for the 2026/27 financial year, the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) warned that the proposed budget does not reflect the Metro’s actual financial position and fails to address the serious service delivery crisis. The party did not support the budget, stating very clearly that the document is out of touch with reality. The administration continues to rely on overly optimistic revenue collection projections while failing to implement meaningful reforms to stabilise the Metro’s finances.
