CAPE TOWN - Just days before the end-of-month deadline, the National Assembly has passed the national budget tabled by the finance minister in February.
In a break with tradition, the Democratic Alliance gingerly supported the individual departmental budgets, saying it was doing so for the sake of progress. Other Government of National Unity partners like the Inkatha Freedom Party , United Democratic Movement , and Freedom Front Plus also made declarations on various budget votes to express their reservations about how the money is being apportioned in departments including the South African Police Service and health.
