Party funding: Just one political party reveals donation but others unwilling to go public | AlexMitchley
Even though political parties have been preaching transparency, most parties remain unwilling to declare their funders to the electorate voluntarily.
Some would only reveal the information if others did so too. Others said they wouldn't do so right now and a few opted to wait until the law specified that they should.African National Congress "The Bill that is signed into law by the state president is a position of the ANC," said Legoete. He also suggested that companies listed on the JSE be asked the same because it will"help a great deal".Instead of responding to News24's questions individually, the party issued a statement in which it touched on some of the issues raised. "We have given our donors the assurance that their donations would remain confidential if that is what they wished.
"In theory yes. The problem is that if some do and some don't, the few funders that we have will come under such a big spotlight , it would be very unfair. Funders need to know that from a given date, their donations will be public," ACDP spokesperson Keeno Petersen said. NFP spokesperson Simo Mkhwanazi said the party was willing to disclose its funders but apparently didn't have anyone who was privately funding the organisation.In short, the FF Plus is ready to show the electorate who funds its operations. The only catch was that the party was willing to do so if other parties did the same.
