All political parties in South Africa must disclose any donation above R100,000 to the Electoral Commission – thanks to the Political Party Funding Act. Since the reports were made public in April 2021, donations of R337.16-million have been recorded; 97% of this is split between 3 parties – the African National Congress 41%, the Democratic Alliance 37% and ActionSA 19%.

The DA has 35 individual donors, compared with the ANC's 18. ActionSA, which is only 3 years old, has received R64-million. This is 18 times more than the R3.5-million the Economic Freedom Fighters have reported to the IEC.
