  "account": "The South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Western Cape has outlined which parties they refuse to engage in coalition talks with following the 2026 local government elections. Speaking at a meeting in Bellville South, the SACP's Western Cape Provincial Secretary, Benson Ngqentsu, stated that their 7 elected councillors will be guided by their election manifesto. Ngqentsu declared the SACP will not collaborate with the neo-liberal Democratic Alliance, the right-wing Freedom Front Plus, nor any political parties responsible for the collapse of Knsyna Municipality and TWK. Despite the ANC's removal of Ngqentsu from his position in the Western Cape Legislature just before the 2026 local government elections, he reiterated that the SACP is contesting the 2029 general election. Ngqentsu emphasized that they view this as an opportunity to build a \"red base for people's power\" and prepare for future elections. Ngqentsu also affirmed the SACP's continued alliance with the ANC within the Tripartite Alliance, which includes the Communist Party, Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), and South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO).",
