A video of Julius Malema asking where Rise Mzansi is getting funding from surfaced on X this weekend. This is before the politican party confirmed a R15 million donation from Rebecca Oppenheimer.
RISE MZANSI: R15 MILLION DONATION
The SABC reported on Sunday, 18 February that Rise Mzansi confirmed it has received a R15 million donation from Rebecca Oppenheimer.
The new political party registered with the IEC in October 2023 and is led by former editor of the Business Day and the Financial Mail, Songezo Zibi.
The publication adds that political parties are obliged to declare donations above R100 000 and up to R15 million under the Political Party Funding Act.
The party also revealed that it received R1 million from Main Street 1564, over R500 000 from Kairos Communications, and over R100 000 from Injozi Design.
The Citizen reports that Rebecca Oppenheimer is the granddaughter of De Beers founder and former chair of the diamond company Harry Oppenheimer.
SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO JULIUS MALEMA VIDEO
@Iam_Iamtaelo: “I remember that very well. Julius asked a simple question. “Who is funding these people”. He even asked journalists to find out. Everyone was going: “Yaa he is jealous that the attention is going from him”. Who has an egg on his face?”
@WilliamKgasi2: “At least Rebecca is a moral citizen unlike Malema who receive money from doggy character.”
@pale_lelepa: “Really? Has he ever disclosed funders for the R6 million mansion he tore down to build a R16 million compound in Sandton? What about the Mazzotti mansion he has been living rent free in? And his “donors” he told to make smaller amounts to bite the IEC threshold?”
@Somagwaza3: “Rebecca Oppenheimer is from America apparently. Julius Malema is never wrong.”
@Phijaphija_M: “What are the Oppenheimer’s going to get in return?”
@thandomasanabo: “I think starting a political party and presenting it to the Oppenheimer’s, it’s a new way to become a millionaire. Re lokeleng… kopa number tsa Rebecca.”
@Koolfello1: “Hai from now on I will listen to @Julius_S_Malema when he speaks, he said it. Those EFF presa’s also known as national mgosi (gossip).
