Only two parties, the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), have declared donations to the Electoral Commission during the fourth quarter disclosure period for the fiscal year 2021/22.

The ANC claims to have received R10 million between January and March of this year, while the DA received just over R2.5 million.

For sums exceeding R100 000, the 2018 Political Party Funding Act requires political parties to disclose their donations.

95% of the DA’s declared donations were received from foreign donors, Germany’s Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF) and the Danish Liberal Democracy Programme.

The FNF also made an in-kind donation to the main opposition of just under R800 000.

The third quarter disclosure period saw 11 political parties, both unrepresented and represented in Parliament receive a total of R46 million between October and December last year.

The Multi-Party Democracy fund, which receives monies for no particular party, received a contribution of R5 000 for a member of the public, Ivan Pillay.
