I studied full time in 2014 and my Mom deposited R8,000 monthly into my bank account so that I could pay my debit orders. The total amount received from her was R96,000. I am now completing my tax return for tax year ending Feb 2015.

How do I disclose this cash donation? I do not have to pay her back so it is not a loan.

No you do not need to disclose this, it was from your Mom as support while you studied.
