The ANC has started a scheme in which members are given exclusive insight into upcoming government decisions.
The Sunday Times reported in its early edition that it amounted to the African National Congress (ANC) selling "face time" with cabinet ministers and government officials in an effort to raise funds.
The scheme already had 2,000 paid-up members and promised businesses knowledge of "upcoming government decisions".
It was run from ANC headquarters Albert Luthuli House in Johannesburg where a call centre processed applicants.
It offered "silver", "gold" or "platinum" membership for between R3,000 and R7,000. Big corporates were charged between R12,500 and R60,000.
The Sunday Times quoted an unnamed agent at the call centre as saying that the scheme was "a private ANC business initiative to assist business people to network with ANC policy makers".
