The South African Communist Party (SACP) marked its 105th anniversary by launching its election campaign. Independent of its alliance partner, the African National Congress (ANC), the SACP aims to contest all municipal seats across the country in the upcoming November elections. At a gathering at Tshwane University of Technology's Soshanguve campus, General Secretary Solly Mapaila addressed supporters and members, stating that this occasion signifies a new chapter for the party.
He declared the release of the SACP's 2026 Local Government Elections Manifesto, which outlines an independent approach to electoral politics. Mapaila emphasized that this day is not merely for celebration and remembrance but also marks a political determination to initiate a new era in the class struggle, signifying a shift in the party's electoral strategy.
