The SACP in the Eastern Cape is up in arms against its national leader Gwede Mantashe, who doubles as the ANC’s national chair, after he criticised the Communist Party’s decision to contest elections against the ANC.
Addressing the ANC’s OR Tambo regional conference in Mthatha on Saturday, Mantashe said the SACP’s planned move would split the ANC’s votes in 2026 and thus weaken the continent’s oldest liberation movement.
