african politics: Can a new law change that The Political Party Funding Act was signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa early this year, according to The Independent.

File picture Jerome Delay/AP The grip of money on South African politics may be so tight that it could be impossible to govern or seek to govern unless you are beholden to private money. The Independent Electoral Commission, which will implement the law, decided that it would not come into force until regulations on how it will operate are drafted. Democracy campaigners have been pressing for this law for years. It has now concluded hearing evidence from interested parties mainly political parties and non-governmental organisations on how to word the rules. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
