The Western Cape High Court was recently the scene in which the future of party funding transparency held centre stage. The application brought by My Vote Counts seeks to remove the donation disclosure threshold of R100,000 (making every donation disclosable), and reducing the annual limit on donations by a donor to a political party.

ActionSA strongly condemns the proposed reinstatement of Matjhabeng Local Municipality Mayor, Councillor Thanduxolo Khalipa and reiterates our long-standing call for a full investigation into the municipality’s finances and governance.

ActionSA can reveal that the Government of National Unity (GNU) has already squandered over R141 million on travel expenses in six months—and that’s just from half the ministries and the Deputy President.

Remarks by ActionSA President Herman Mashaba in Polokwane, where we announced the merger of three parties with ActionSA.
