Today, we co-hosted a successful hybrid workshop with the PABC on the 2026 Budget and its impact on service delivery. We explored the budget's context within the current political economy, including revenue, taxation, and expenditures. #Budget2026

Cry of the Xcluded rejects the #MTBPS2026 with contempt. It is a budget written for bankers, investors & the rich, delivered to a nation where hunger is at its worst since 2010, and 43.8% of people who want work cannot find it. Read our statement here. ⤵️ thexcluded.org.za/mtbps-2026…
