The SACP, which is in an alliance with the ANC, has publicly criticised its partners for forming a coalition government with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and Freedom Front Plus.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress has hit back on what it calls"perpetual attacks" by the South African Communist Party on President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Government of National Unity .
The SACP, which is in an alliance with the ANC, has publicly criticised its partners for forming a coalition government with the Democratic Alliance and Freedom Front Plus. SACP secretary general, Solly Mapaila, said the GNU was being spearheaded by a dominant neo-liberal faction within the ANC. At a media briefing on Thursday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said that disputes between alliance members should be kept indoors.
"Comrade Solly Mapaila seems to be attacking the ANC and putting it, in particular it’s leadership, isolating the president in the realm of the enemy camp and not even opponent. That is worrisome for the ANC. We are having a scheduled bilateral with the SACP and we wish to not dictate its dissent on the GNU but the perpetual attacks and campaign to annihilate to a certain extent the leadership of the ANC and deface the face of the ANC leadership, led by the president, is worrisome.
