President Cyril Ramaphosa has increased the annual donation threshold to political parties by an individual donor from R15m to R30m.
He has also allowed for donations to political parties below R200,000 to go undisclosed, up from R100,000.
Ramaphosa set these amounts in a government gazette dated August 6. The president said he made these determinations in terms of the Political Funding Act and was also acting on a resolution adopted by the National Assembly on May 20.
