South Africa’s opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), said they would oppose the national budget until a written deal is reached with a coalition partner, the African National Congress (ANC).
DA party leader John Steenhuisen said in a post on X on Tuesday.
“Last night, the ANC refused to finalise an agreement on growth and spending reforms, imperilling the Government of National Unity (GNU).
“The DA will oppose the budget unless and until a written agreement is reached,” Steenhuisen said in a post on X.
Negotiations over the deadlocked budget have dragged on for weeks between the ANC and DA, the two biggest parties in the coalition government.
