Private funding of political parties is top of mind after disclosures at the state capture inquiry about how companies such as Bosasa bribed politically connected individuals and the ANC
SA’s political parties have been receiving donations in the form of money, goods and services for years from the likes of banks, corporations, individuals, foreign entities, governments and political parties, and state-owned enterprises.
MVC said its report was compiled using publicly available information, but that it could not claim to have all the information on political parties' private funding. Other donors were billionaire businessperson Robert Gumede, the Guptas and their entities and VBS Mutual Bank. The EFF, which contested its first election in 2014, is reported to have received money from Afrirent, a company that bid for a tender from the City of Johannesburg.
