With local government elections coming up next year, it is not too early to start thinking about voting-related matters. The recent symposium on political funding in South Africa, hosted in Durban by the Independent Electoral Commission, brought together key stakeholders to assess progress in the four years since the promulgation of the Political Party Funding Act – now known as the Political Funding Act – which came into force on 1 April 2021.

Opinion

It seems that criminal elements are firmly embedded in our political systems in a way that compromises our leaders and disempowers them from acting, writes Good Governance Africa CEO Lonwabo Kulati for Daily Maverick. It is a total failure to deal with corruption, year after year, he adds, and South Africans are sick of it.

Corruption Watch strongly condemns the recent threats, physical violence, and verbal attacks on human rights defenders Abahlali baseMjondolo, the Socio-Economic Rights Institute, and the South African Human Rights Commission by anti-immigrant organisation Operation Dudula and its allied groups. Denying immigrants their constitutional rights to healthcare is not the answer to the situation of poor service delivery in the public health system.
