Close look at political parties’ financial records

South Africans are almost a year away from the country’s next national election. With more political parties and independent candidates now entering the fray, the questions around party funding and donations are once again circling. This past week, the IEC provided a close look at political parties’ financial records.
Newzroom Afrika’s Nic Andersen took a deep dive and filed this report.

ANC's gold Mafia and pipeline of rhino horn that Al Jazeera exposed shows that the cadres are super rich; but sending the 💰 out of the country; they cannot even keep financial records for the soe's; a bunch of crooked people running our country.

[@dineshanpillay5944]

No you're wrong, Russia owns 30%, China 50% and the guptas 20%

[@spy2sa54]

How. Could parties that can't manage their own books be able to manage the country's economy 👀

EFF self-fund itself via membership fees, deployees in legislature,council contribute 10% of their monthly salaries and some businesses donates less than threshold amount set by IEC to avoid public declaration.......Those red boys there are smart 😂😂😂😂. How the hell in the world would you run national elections with R36 000 on balance sheet 😂😅😂😂

[@Hannodb1961]

No sh!t Sherlock. One would think the I IEC should do minimal background checks on all candidates, and yet Pretoria ended up with an insolvent mayor.

[@michael-john4954]

Malema was right, Oppenheimers owns DA

[@jasonlee5953]

Well people that vote EFF & ANC tend to live in poverty. And somehow it impacts their decision making as well. Hence the state of the country.

EFF also got money from the Oppenheimers a value of R3.5mil
