Does SA government meet its constitutional obligation on socioeconomic rights?
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The question to be answered by Parliament when it scrutinises the government's Budget is whether the Budget Speech and the Budget Review meet the required standard that substantive regressions in the realisation of socioeconomic rights must be 'fully justified'. Resource constraints alone cannot justify inaction or regression when the full context of the Budget is relevant.
