The aggrieved parties want President Cyril Ramaphosa to reject the bill as passed by the National Assembly last week or prepare for an eleventh-hour Constitutional Court battle.

CAPE TOWN - A broad church of political parties in Parliament say they are ready to go to court if changes to the funding model from state coffers is signed into law.

Meanwhile, they estimate the African National Congress could boost their election budget by as much as R52 million. But they say changing the funding formula intended to enhance multi-party democracy flies in the face of a Constitutional Court judgment on political party funding. Again accusing the ANC of a money grab, parties say the change has been snuck through the back door on a bill intended to make provision for independent candidates to declare their donations.
