Busi Sibeko (IEJ) moderates a conversation on the considerations to be included in an alternative human rights budget. Civil society has noted with increasing concern the continued steps by National Treasury and the South African government to cut back on the social spending that is needed to fulfil socio-economic rights which are enshrined by the South African Constitution and international law. On 21 October 2020, the Budget Justice Coalition (BJC) tabled Imali Yesizwe, an alternative human rights budget. The BJC acknowledges that the budget and budget processes are critical to the advancement and protection of human rights.
