The SACP says it will contest the 2021 local government elections under a list led by the ANC.
The general secretary of the South African Communist Party , Blade Nzimande, on Monday said in response to a question of choosing between leading the party and being in Cabinet that no one within the organisation’s leadership was “hogging positions”.reported that there were fresh calls within the SACP that Nzimande’s position should be a full-time one.
Mapaila said a previous congress resolution indicated that one or all members of the party’s secretariat should be full time, which is now in the SACP’s constitution. Nzimande said no one in the leadership of the party was “serving by force” or serving “on their own”. Issues expected to be dealt with during the congress include the “situation with state-owned enterprises ”, Nzimande said, including South African Airways – which was last week placed under business rescue – and Eskom.
However, he cautioned that the fight against corruption and state capture should not be used “to take the country back to neoliberalism”, which he said could never be a solution for South Africa. He said the SACP did not intend to break away from its alliance with the ANC and the Congress of South African Trade Unions but intended to use the unity with the communist party to contribute towards strengthing the alliance and solidarity with its respective partners.ANC deputy president David Mabuza is expected to address the congress on Tuesday.
