The limit for gifts municipal councillors have to declare will jump from R350 to R1,000 under newly-proposed rules.

Councils will be able to decide for themselves what details in their gift registers are made public.

But while they get secrecy up to R999, anything above that limit will be subject to new requirements, potentially giving their constituents new insight into their personal connections.Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma this week published the new draft rules for public comment , or smaller gifts that, over the course of a year, hit that value cumulatively. But they had no detailed obligations beyond a bald declaration of the"source" of more valuable gifts.or any higher amount the minister may deem appropriate. At that value, councillors will have 10 working days to declare the gift before they are in breach of the code of conduct.
