The African National Congress has endorsed Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's medium-term budget, characterizing it as a balanced plan that merges fiscal discipline with social investment. The party's acting spokesperson stated the budget maintains priority spending on public infrastructure and social grants while working to eliminate corruption.

Key allocations highlighted by the ANC include R943 billion for infrastructure development over three years and the continuation of the Presidential Employment Stimulus. The party also welcomed a new procurement payments dashboard as a transparency measure. 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.
