R166,000 and R200,000 on August 30. His brother-in-law, businessman Patrice Motsepe, forked out R5.8m through his company African Rainbow Minerals. The DA declared R16.8m from donors including Martin Moshal and Naspers. The donors forked out R15m and R1m respectively. ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba was unapologetic and unfazed by critics who questioned his relationship with some donors, assuring supporters of the party's commitment to serving South Africans. We are proud of our association with South Africans who are committed to SA and have generously donated to its political future.
