The year 2025 has proven to be one of the most tumultuous year for South Africa’s (SA) African National Congress (ANC) Tripartite Alliance.
A historical relationship that spurns decades is probably heading for a split with the SA Communist Party (SACP) having vowed to independently participate in the 2026 local elections and other future polls.
After several meetings with its partner the ANC, SACP is steadfast they want state power after failing to convince the ANC on its quest to have a reconfigured alliance.
A defining moment for the ANC-led alliance as it’s known. Going forward the SACP says is going at elections independently.
At the heart of their differences is what it calls the ANC’s failure to reconfigure the alliance, something they have called for over two decades.
SACP General Secretary, Solly Mapaila has reiterated that nothing will stand in its way of fulfilling its decision to contest elections independently.
