The South African Communist Party's (SACP) General-Secretary Solly Mapaila says the focus of the Red
The South African Communist Party’s General-Secretary Solly Mapaila says the focus of the Red October campaign is the rising cost of living, that’s also affecting mental health.
National and provincial leaders visited and laid wreaths at the gravesite of Thabo Mofutsanyane, a former SACP General-Secretary. “This issue on the crisis of living is causing a secondary problem in our society which is a mental health crisis. So, this campaign is actually addressing two crises, the crisis of inflation as well as a societal crisis of mental health. The rate of suicide, the general crisis of mental health particularly among young people and the poor is rising at an alarming rate that requires society to tackle this challenge.
“We do believe that in a socialist order, we will not have a situation of youth under development, youth poverty, youth unemployment. So, part of our issues today, mainly align ourselves with the theme, that we got to put the people first against the rising cost of living.”“Building of non-racial South Africa and SACP has been in the fore front to make sure our structures are non-racial. Issues such as land and water are part of that.
