The SACP calls out the ANC for sidelining their efforts and making a secret deal with the DA, which damages alliance unity.
The SACP has condemned the ANC for betraying its alliance partners, accusing them of entering a secret deal with the DA, undermining unity talks.
Although Ramaphosa agreed to the advice, Mapaila was surprised to get a message soon thereafter inviting him and others to Mahlamba Ndlopfu presidential residence in Pretoria where Ramaphosa was to announce the Cabinet without consulting the ANC alliance partners.
This despite the fact that the SACP participated in drafting the initial coalition deal that excluded the DA and its allies.But, Mapaila said, the document was swept away and replaced with the DA-led statement of intent that was designed for the DA to dominate the GNU. The SACP decision to contest the upcoming local government elections was not an easy one. It had caused tension and hostility between the two parties. But he stressed the SACP was not going to serve divorce papers to the ANC and would remain in the alliance.SACP’s first deputy general secretary Madala Masuku said they would approach the 2026 elections with a clear understanding that they could lose and be humbled by voters.
