VOW 88.1 AREA CODE

In Conversation With Goodenough Mashego

Loading player...
The South African Communist Party (SACP) has publicly stated that it wants to enter government to help the African National Congress (ANC) accelerate land reform and economic redistribution in South Africa. This declaration came during an ANC rally marking the party’s 114th anniversary in the North West, where the SACP was present and reiterated concerns about slow progress on historic socio-economic issues.

In 2024, the SACP announced plans to contest elections independently, breaking with its long-standing practice of participating under the ANC banner as part of the Tripartite Alliance with the ANC and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). This move has created tensions with alliance partners, as the SACP pushes for more radical transformation on issues including land redistribution and economic inequality.
