Johannesburg — April 30, 2025
The African National Congress (ANC) is expected to address the nation this afternoon during a highly anticipated media briefing at Chief Albert Luthuli House in Johannesburg.
Scheduled for 14h00, the briefing will be led by ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula, who will tackle critical national matters, including the 2025 National Budget, South Africa’s fiscal policy direction, and developments in the ongoing parliamentary process.
This comes at a time of heightened political and economic scrutiny, as citizens, economists, and opposition parties demand clarity on government spending, rising debt, and plans to stimulate economic growth amid widespread public concern.
Observers expect Mbalula to clarify the ANC’s stance on key budget allocations, tax strategies, and how the ruling party plans to balance fiscal discipline with social support programs ahead of the upcoming elections.
The briefing is expected to draw significant attention from both local and international media, with political analysts closely watching for policy signals and party positioning ahead of the parliamentary debates.
More details will emerge following the address. The ANC has invited media outlets to attend in person or follow the event via live broadcast channels.
