Background
South Africa finally has a draft Bill attempting to regulate private funding to political parties. The ad hoc committee is in the process of taking submissions from the public on the (Draft) Political Party funding Bill, 2017. In the interim too, a ruling by the Western Cape High Court has ruled the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) unconstitutional as it fails to make provision for the regulation of private funding to political parties. What are the essential ingredients of the Draft Bill before Parliament and what impact might the Bill have on our political landscape?
The event will be addressed by:
-
Vincent Smith (ANC MP and Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Party Funding)
-
Bantu Holomisa (MP and President of the UDM)
-
Janine Ogle (Coordinator, My Vote Counts)
Facilitated by Judith February (Senior Research Consultant, ISS).
