But, they need to disclose the election-related private financing and donations which are above a certain threshold.
"The law calls on political parties to, through a juristic person or entity, disclose to the electoral commission all donations received that are above the prescribed threshold."
"According to the bill, donations to politicians or their parties should be disclosed starting at 100,000 rand (about €6,000). "
