SACP Reaffirms Alliance with ANC at 113th Birthday Celebration: 'No Partnership with DA'
Daily Maverick

The South African Communist Party (SACP) has reiterated its commitment to its alliance with the African National Congress (ANC), with Thulas Nxesi delivering a clear message at the ANC's 113th birthday bash. The SACP's decision to contest the 2026 municipal elections alone has sparked intense debate, but Nxesi emphasized that their ally remains the ANC, not the Democratic Alliance (DA). This public statement underscores the SACP's strategic political stance, aiming to maintain a strong leftist presence in South African politics, with terms like 'socialism' and 'left-wing politics' being increasingly relevant in this context. The move is seen as a strategic effort to consolidate power and influence within the tripartite alliance.
