On Saturday, the party disclosed its funding as part of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC)’s Political Funding Act.
The party’s chief organiser, Makashule Gana, in a statement said this is part of deepening democracy and transparency.
Gana stated that Rise Mzansi does not accept taxpayer cash and instead relies on private individuals’ funds.
“Unlike established political parties represented in Parliament and Provincial Legislatures, new political parties such as RISE Mzansi do not get taxpayer funding. It is private citizens who are committed to democracy that enable us to do the work we do,” said Gana.
