The two largest parties in the Government of National Unity - the African National Congress ANC and the Democratic Alliance DA - have supported the approval of funds for various government departments and entities.
DA MP Edwin Baptie and ANC MP Zweli Mkhize both endorse their support for the Home Affairs budget.
"But we are not just open for anybody. Under the leadership of Minister Shriber, we have doubled the number of undocumented migrants during the festive season. The delivers. We support this budget," says Baptie.
"The portfolio committee will be doing an aggressive joint oversight visit with SCOPA, the Standing Committee on Auditor General, starting with the Free State tomorrow. We have to make sure that there is accountability, consequence management, as well as turnaround of these municipalities. The ANC supports this budget on Traditional Affairs. We see this budget as a huge step towards supporting traditional leadership," says Mkhize.
