SACP to seek members who are 'committed to fighting against capitalism and replacing it with socialism'
This is according to SACP first deputy general secretary Solly Mapaila in the organisational report delivered on Tuesday at a special national congress in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni.
He said the majority of the SACP’s more than 300 000 members were unemployed as up to 270 000 were “in the streets”.But, said Mapaila, members could not sit and complain because during elections the party had a discussion around every branch looking at ideas of sustainable livelihood within their communities, like setting up cooperatives.
In terms of new membership, he said, “we need members that can conform with our organisational renewal principles and ideas” which may require a constitutional amendment because of its “far-reaching implications”.
