Parliament, Thursday 26 June 2025 – The National Assembly (NA) will hold a plenary to consider the Division of Revenue Amendment Bill today, 26 June 2025, at 14:00.
The aim of the Division of Revenue Amendment Bill (B9-2025) is to amend the Division of Revenue Act of 2025 in accordance with the Money Bills and Related Matters Act of 2009.
The Bill is a critical piece of legislation in South Africa that outlines how nationally collected revenue is allocated among the three spheres of government: national, provincial, and local.
Prepared by the National Treasury, the bill is tabled alongside the annual budget and ensures that funds are distributed equitably to address service delivery needs, reduce inequality, and support development priorities. The bill specifies the division of funds through conditional grants, equitable shares, and other allocations, ensuring provinces and municipalities have the necessary resources to fulfil their constitutional mandates, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure development.
The Division of Revenue is crucial for maintaining cooperative governance and ensuring that public funds are distributed fairly and efficiently to meet the needs of all South Africans.

The NA plenary sitting will also hold a debate on International Day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking themed: Breaking the Chains – Prevention, treatment and recovery for all.
