Non-resident donor tax

If my brother is a non-resident (USA citizen) and he donates money to me as a South African citizen is there donations tax and if not - do I still need to notify SARS of having received the donation?

No, there will not be any donations tax on this amount as it comes from a non-resident, provided the money did not originate in SA.
