The EEF is one of 502 political parties that have not disclosed their funders as per the requirement of the new Political Party Funding Act.

Chief Executive for Party Funding, George Mahlangu said, of these 502 parties 108 parties have been written to by the IEC to request that they comply.

In March 2018, the EFF was the only party that opposed the bill when it was before the National Assembly (NA).
