The secretive billionaire who pumped R118 million into major political parties in South Africa

• Martin Moshal donated R118 million to major political parties in South Africa over the last five years.
• Moshal's donations were made to several parties, including the Democratic Alliance, ActionSA, and the Inkatha Freedom Party, with some parties receiving significant contributions ahead of the 2026 local elections.
• The large donations from Moshal have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of high-net-worth individuals on legislative priorities, particularly in relation to online gambling regulations.
