It’s unacceptable to question SACP’s independence: Mapaila

The South African Communist Party’s (SACP) General Secretary Solly Mapaila says it is unacceptable to question their decision as an independent component of the alliance.

He briefed the media on the programme for the SACP’s 5th Special National Congress underway in Boksburg east of Johannesburg.

Mapaila says, “You know this thing that the party’s position is suspicious is unacceptable. We have the right to take decisions as the Communist Party, and also this attack on our position differs with our position. Yes, we differ with the ANC openly, but we don’t agree with this notion that we wanted to deliver the ANC to the EFF and the MK. I mean that’s completely untrue and we are also not splintering the ANC, we are just assessing our independence as a Communist Party, we are in alliance, we are independent organisations. “
