The Constitutional Court ruled that private political party funding information must be made available to the public and media. This upholds a previous high court ruling and affirms the rights to freedom of expression and transparency. SANEF and amaBhungane welcomed the ruling but noted loopholes in the pending Political Party Funding Bill, including allowing secret donations and lacking enforcement. They urged amendments to require disclosure of all donations and prevent ways to conceal donors. The ruling and bill are important for media freedom and democratic accountability in South Africa.
