Some source checks, rows or fields remain unresolved. This is not a whole-dataset current verification.
Evidence status is dataset-family level. Row-level and field-level source labels still control where they are more specific.
Under the current Political Funding Act threshold, effective from 18 August 2025, donations above R200 000 must be disclosed to the IEC. Here's what has been publicly declared.
Disclosure-threshold legal gap during the 2024 election period
From 8 May 2024, amendments removed the statutory disclosure threshold and annual donation cap. The IEC says represented parties nevertheless agreed through the National Party Liaison Committee to continue declaring under the previous limits while the legal gap remained. The Western Cape High Court restored the prior thresholds on 16 August 2024. Odyssey treats this as a disclosure-risk period and does not infer that specific undisclosed donations occurred.
R97.2m declared
1 January to 31 March 2026 · five parties made declarations in the latest identified IEC reporting cycle. Amount labels below retain the precision exposed by the sources rather than inferred residuals.
Reported composition: R94.8m monetary · R2.4m in-kind.
Amounts are displayed at the precision exposed by the sources used in this sweep. Odyssey does not reverse-engineer residual cents to force rounded party labels to equal the reported quarter total. The R30m RISE Mzansi declaration was a loan-to-donation conversion that the IEC said required further clarification.
We no longer plot the old cumulative private/public bars.
Odyssey retired the legacy private-versus-public party funding bars because the stored figures did not share a reconciled reporting period or accounting basis. Private donation declarations are threshold-based quarterly disclosures; statutory public funding is distributed and reported through separate fund/accounting cycles. The old numeric fields remain code-only compatibility data and are not presented as comparable current totals.
Quarterly threshold-based donation disclosures under the Political Funding Act; not a complete measure of all party income.
Statutory represented-party fund distributions reported on annual fund/accounting cycles; not the same measure or period as quarterly private-donation declarations.
P4 status: legacy numeric comparison retired · latest IEC quarter and selected donor rows remain available above and below.
10 selected donor profiles · 25 displayed donation records reconciled to row-specific source periods. Each donor total on Odyssey is only the arithmetic sum of the selected reconciled rows displayed for that profile. It is not a donor lifetime total, a complete party ledger or proof of influence. Receipt timing is shown only where the cited source states it; late declarations keep receipt period and reporting period separate.

Profile totals are only sums of selected displayed rows, not donor lifetime totals or exhaustive party ledgers. Donations below the applicable threshold may not appear in public disclosures. "Conflict of interest" and scrutiny labels are Odyssey editorial analysis — not IEC findings and not proof of illegality or improper influence.
