Delegates in attendance at the 5th National General Council in Boksburg.
African National Congress (ANC) Second Deputy Secretary-General, Maropene Ramokgopa, says they don’t have any fundamental disagreement with the South African Communist Party (SACP) on the reconfiguration of the tripartite alliance.
She was speaking to the SABC on the sidelines of the party’s 5th National General Council underway in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg.
The delegates have resolved that the dual membership of the ANC and SACP should be discontinued. This follows the SACP’s decision to go it alone in contesting future elections.
Ramokgopa says the SACP only wanted to contest power and now wants to use reconfiguration or a lack of it as its reasoning.
“There is no point of disagreement. What the SACP has been saying is that they probably would want us to have a way in which we probably would change how we do things…When you say you want to change, you must first bring the ideological disposition of what needs to be done. And, secondly, say what is wrong because when you don’t tell us what is wrong with the current set-up, then what do we do it for? So, there is no disagreement. The SACP just took a decision to contest state power and that’s it.”
