Even though it’s December and many are on holiday, South Africa’s Parliament is still hard at work in Cape Town. A small group of people virtually decides how billions of rand will be shared between provinces and cities. This is called DORA, and it’s super important because it’s the last chance to move money around for things like hospitals and schools. They argue a lot over who gets what, because every rand counts, and they have to finish before a deadline.
