South Africa's Corrupt Political System Just Got Worse

South Africa’s democracy is under threat as new political funding laws raise major concerns. President Cyril Ramaphosa has doubled the threshold for undisclosed donations from R100,000 to R200,000 and increased the maximum single donor cap from R15 million to R30 million. Critics argue this opens the door for wealthy elites, corporations, and big business to buy influence, leaving ordinary South Africans voiceless.

In this video, I break down why these changes are so dangerous for democracy, how money corrupts politics, and why parties like the ANC will never give up BEE or affirmative action policies—because they rely on donor cash. From skyrocketing unemployment to worsening inequality, South Africans are paying the price while politicians serve their donors, not the people.

Is our democracy for sale—or has it already been sold? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
