The ANC Johannesburg Fundraising Gala Dinner charges R500,000 per table to join the city’s executive mayor, Dada Morero, Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and MMCs.

It also costs R500,000 per table to join the City of Johannesburg’s executive deputy mayor, Loyiso Masuku.

For the same price, delegates can sit with Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi.

People can also buy access to Deputy Ministers, Members of the Mayoral Committee in Johannesburg, and high-ranking ANC officials.

The Gala Dinner will take place on 30 July 2026 at The Venue in Melrose Arch, and has numerous packages for those wanting to attend.

The African National Congress (ANC) has a long tradition of using formal gala dinners as a fundraising mechanism.

These events are often organised by the Progressive Business Forum (PBF) and attract corporate leaders, investors, and executives from state-owned entities.

These gala dinners give them direct access to top party figures in exchange for substantial financial contributions.

At the ANC Johannesburg Fundraising Gala Dinner, tables and seating are sold for proximity to the party’s high-ranking officials in the city.

These officials include the executive mayor, the executive deputy mayor, and Members of the Mayoral Committee (MMCs).
