• The governing ANC is proposing the Political Party Funding Act be amended so that the party funding disclosure threshold is increased.
• The ANC has proposed that:
• The current R100,000 threshold be increased to R250,000 or R500,000 a year; and
• The amount of R15-million that a single individual or entity can donate be increased to between R50-million and R100-million.
• The Political Party Funding Act was enacted to improve transparency and accountability in South African politics.
• The ANC’s proposed amendments to the act have not been well received by some civil society organisations.
• In a joint statement, various organisations have argued that the ANC’s proposals undermine the Act and are a threat to the country’s democracy
