These initiatives are framed as fulfillment of the ANC's election manifesto, aiming to grow the economy and protect vulnerable citizens.
The endorsement positions the budget as a tool for advancing the party's objectives of inclusive growth and fiscal responsibility. The ANC described the statement as evidence that responsible public finance management can coexist with social justice imperatives.
