Will the Budget break the GNU? Carol Paton explains
Loading player...
Today, the government of national unity is facing its most formidable challenge.
The future of the tumultuous union rests on the outcomes of the joint sitting of Parliament, where a vote will be taken on the delayed budget tabled by finance minister Enoch Godongwana last month. We know the DA has rejected the budget and that the ANC has looked to other parties to fill the void. Is this the end of the road for the GNU? Or will the unlikely alliance partners find each other at the 11th hour? What can we expect from today's sitting? Join us for a special, earlier edition of The Lead with host Graeme Raubenheimer and News24 writer-at-large Carol Paton, who unpack what has happened behind the scenes, what can happen today in parliament, and what lies ahead for the GNU.
