The SACP's increasing frustrations with the ANC

In recent months, the SACP has been steadily growing disenchanted with its alliance partner, the ANC. Initially reports about the growing cracks in the tripartite alliance were dismissed as untrue and, later, as unfounded rumours. But senior communist party leaders are now publicly attacking the ANC and cutting to the heart of issues in the ruling party. The South African Communist Party (SACP) deputy general secretary, Solly Mapaila, has launched what may seem as scathing attack on the ANC’s top six officials, including President Jacob Zuma.
