South Africa’s 2025/26 parliamentary budget of R5.08 billion supports vital work like running Parliament, overseeing government actions, and serving members. Inspired by the historic Freedom Charter, which calls for freedom, equality, and justice, this budget aims to strengthen democracy and renew Parliament’s buildings and systems. Parliament actively listens to the people, fights inequality, and looks to the future with new technology and wider global engagement. This budget is more than money—it’s a commitment to building a fairer, stronger South Africa for all.
