Decision-making over public finance in SA’s most economically important province could be hit if ANC loses majorityWill the ANC lose its majority in Gauteng? This is a key question going into the 2019 elections. What is underappreciated is how the ANC’s loss of a majority might affect decision-making in the country’s economically most important province. If no party has a majority the role of the provincial legislature could become much more important, especially regarding public finances.
There is thus little public awareness of these powers held by parliament. There is even less awareness that there is an identical constitutional clause for provincial legislatures. Thus far, a remarkable 22 years later, no province has passed the legislation required by section 120 of the constitution. Furthermore, it has recently been clarified that parliament cannot impose processes on provincial legislatures — as it attempted to do through the Money Bills Act of 2009.
The proposed bill is flawed in certain key respects, as is common for a first draft. Having flawed legislation may cause even more problems than not having any legislation at all. And it may embed practices and institutional structures that later have to be undone.
