ANC and SACP Fracture Deepens | Johannesburg News

The ANC and SACP alliance is cracking under pressure as both parties run separate election campaigns, signaling a deepening rift. Tensions flared at a recent meeting where ANC’s Fikile Mbalula snubbed SACP’s Solly Mapaila, and just a month later, the ANC ousted prominent SACP-aligned legislator Benson Ngqentsu — a clear message: pick a side. Mapaila pushes back, accusing the ANC of siding with corporate interests over the people and openly flirting with the EFF while rejecting any deal with the DA. Though once pivotal in shaping ANC policy, the SACP now seeks to reclaim voters disillusioned with the ruling party, leaving Cosatu caught in the crossfire as all three partners jostle for influence in a fractured political landscape.
