The Money Influencing South Africa's Leaders: Political Party Funding


Political parties rely on funding from donors to cover their costs and expand their operations. We South Africans usually know very little about who is paying our politicians’ bills. Let’s find out what the law says about disclosing private funding of political parties, what we do know about who is giving which party money, and which parties…

  1. First and foremost this doesn't help us make.more informed decisions it just shows that they are controlled by private interests. We should throw out the whole system if we are serious. Knowing which rich person my.party dances to doesn't change the issue.

  2. Never regretted subscribing to your channel. I don't know how YT came to show you in my timeline. Keep growing my guy, we need to fight for our country for nobody else will.

  3. I really didn’t care about politics and wanting to vote because I genuinely lost hope but Dan really got me into politics and to understand them.

    I’m 32 and I’ve registered to vote for the first time.

    Thank you Dan !!👊🏽

  4. what you don't seem to understand, young man, is changing the donation or gifts threshold affects every tax paying citizen. Would you really want SARS and the government at that to know what you spent your gift money on? That becomes personal and personal becomes an invasion of privacy. So for now, and thank God for that, our personal lives are not being spied on by Kieswiet and his henchmen. However, if your intentions are pro-draconian rule then it would make sense to say what you say about this. And just on a matter of observation…the hippie look does not deceive everyone, however for most it does and so your dress code gives you the upper hand.

  5. Ontop of paying hefty taxes (45%) we should also fund these guys aswell.

    Is it still a donation if in getting something back from the the party, does this not open more room for corruption?

  6. Politicsl Party Funders also fuel corruption because after Elections the Political Party Funders expects FAVOURS from the Party that Won the Elections. The present model of Political Funders creates a DEBT TRAP for any political Party which often always leads to corruption and mafias. Drug Cartel get an opportunity to WASH or CLEAN their dirty Money through Funding political parties.

  7. 😅Whats up with beanies bra, I've been trying to figure out if they are based with each fact by color but I get lost. Anyway is there anyway you could make a video about small parties,e.g what they stand for and they're pros and cons. We need to find some good in this country Dan, ku rough!

  8. Bro please answer this question. Why are most white south Africans working against south Africa? We focus on black corruption when its just a small amount compared to the fact that most white companies are the ones getting the major tenders. Yet black people are painted as corrupt. Why do white people hate SA so much they'd rather collapse it than give it a fair chance.

    If u read this and are white and racist please answer why are u racist?

  9. The parties also taps into the salaries of their elected representatives monthly an anc cllr pays next to nothing a da cllr pays around 2% and an eff pays around 10% of course the bigger parties have access to researchers and coordinators that keeps the machine oiled and running in there absence if a branch doesn't meet or campaign for the party something is broken funding is a big part of it

  10. You are a great Bloke, with interesting, and truth full content. But I cant stop looking at your background. Just a thought, when your house is disorderly, you mind doesn't focus perfectly. When your environment is perfect and neat, your mind is not cluttered and people will take you much more seriously. I say this with all respect. Keep up the good work.

  11. Someone once said: Politicians must wear outfits with their sponsors like racecar drivers 🏎️ so that we can all know who really owns them and he wasn't wrong.

  12. Greetings Dan. Love the videos, they are very informative.
    Kindly do a video on why sone government institutions cant install solar or back up gens…i am currently at the post office and we are waiting for loadshedding to end so that business can continue. Billions are spend every year but they cant set aside 200k for a solar system, it baffles me and its definitely gonna influence who vote for

  13. The Stellenbosch Mafia offered the PA R200million on the condition that they don't run for election in the western cape. If they csn give a party that much off the books, how much money is the DA really really getting then

  14. And common, do we really believe that the DA and ANC is only getting a hundred to two hundred million? When the business they do with their funders runs in to hundreds of billions.. 🤔

  15. Makes so much more sense why the free Palestine🇵🇸 protest were so suppressed in cape town even though the majority of people in the Western Cape is appalled by this genocide. It's because of the Openheimers.. We do not need these criminals in our democracy.

  16. Please do Consentize Azanians ( SA"s ) about party Political funding ,so our people when they go to Polling stations they must take a decisive decision , not going to the VD""s with their stomach inteir heads and their heads in their stomach , Goal post had to be changed now this time.

  17. What if EFF doesn't take the money directly, basically they ask the company to pay invoices on their behalf, like the rallies and other things, making it seem like they have low donations
