process which remains an exorbitantly expensive process. We are also aware that for small political parties funded mainly by young black entrepreneurs, this may be introducing difficulties because entrepreneurs dependent on government contracts for survival and for opportunities. So this is introducing a complicated funding regime for the democratic project in South Africa, but a necessary regime nonetheless. Perhaps, it will force funders to finance the democratic project as a whole, and not just a select group of larger political parties like as it is happening in South Africa with the ruling party. This Bill is also in sync with the already passed Political Party Funding Bill whose broad objectives we agreed with. The EFF supports this Bill.
