Congress Wealth: Latest News and Insights

Welcome to the Congress wealth tag page. Here you’ll find everything that’s happening around political money, assets, and influence in South Africa and beyond.

Why Congress Wealth Matters

Money drives politics. When a politician’s bank account or business interests get tangled with public duties, decisions can shift away from the public good. That’s why tracking Congress wealth is a key part of holding leaders accountable. It also helps voters see who benefits from policy changes, tender contracts, or government appointments.

In South Africa, the debate around Congress wealth often comes up in headlines about corruption probes, tender scandals, and high‑profile investigations. Understanding these stories gives you a clearer picture of how power is bought and sold.
