Extra R200m for elections attempt by ANC to access more State funds, say opposition parties

On Tuesday, several opposition parties rejected the Second Adjustments Appropriation Bill that will make this additional allocation possible, saying the ANC is trying to compensate for having run out of donor support.

CAPE TOWN - Opposition parties believe an additional R200 million to help political parties with their election campaigns is an attempt by the African National Congress to get their hands on more State funds.

The Freedom Front Plus’ Wouter Wessels: “There’s R200 million allocated to political parties, additionally allocated to political parties. For what? To save the ANC from bankruptcy while the people are suffering.” The African Christian Democratic Party’s Steve Swart said his party will challenge the change to the funding formula especially if these additional funds are allocated according to this split.
