Hundreds of organisations were compelled to list donations worth R100 000 or more – but only three parties complied with the directive set out by the IEC. The ANC has received a total of R10.7 million in significant donations since April 2021. The largest individual sum came from the Majestic Silver Trading Company.
They dropped a mammoth R5 million into ANC’s badly-depleted coffers back in May. They also received R2.5 million from United Manganese, and R2 million from Nonkwelo Investments. The DA’s funding is much less equitable, however. After receiving a total of R15.98 million from their backers, it has been revealed that one individual – Mary Slack – accounted for almost all of that money, chipping in with R15 million. The sister of Nicky Oppenheimer also runs the family’s memorial trust.
