		Of course, this does not alter the general colonial character of the economy of South Africa, since British capital continues to occupy the principal economic positions in the country (banks, mining and industry), and since the South African bourgeoisie is equally interested in the merciless exploitation of the negro population.
		Nevertheless, the influence of this party is being undermined by the steady worsening of the material conditions of the mass of the white workers.
		At the same time the South African bourgeoisie is endeavouring to attract to its side certain elements of the non-European population, for instance, the ‘coloured’ population, promising them electoral rights, and also the native leaders, turning them into agents for the exploitation of the negro population.

	Kubatana - Archive - Zimbabwe - let's keep focused - South African Communist Party (SACP) - Nov 03, 2004
		For the first decade of independence, the ruling party accommodated a capitalist growth path in the industrial and dominant commercial agriculture sectors, encouraging some capitalist indigenisation, while pursuing progressive welfarist redistributive policies for the majority: the so-called "two economies" approach which essentially left the mainstream capitalist economy untouched.
		South African comrades may argue that this is, or is not, the case - but either way it is obvious that there are major problems inside of the ruling party.
		In the view of the SACP, the crisis in Zimbabwe is considerably rooted in the social reality of the class force dominant in the leadership echelons of the ruling party.

		In exile the influence of the SACP grew as communist states provided the ANC with funds and arms and as communist-inspired movements such as FRELIMO and the MPLA won spectacular victories over the remnants of colonialism in Africa.
		Patient work by the ANC slowly rebuilt the organisation inside South Africa and it was the ANC, with communists in prominent positions, who were able to provide focus to the wave of anger that swept young South Africans during and after the Soweto Uprising of 1976.
		Communists were heros of the struggle and communists, notably Joe Slovo, sat on the ANC benches in parliament and in government.

	South African Communist Party Congress: Return to the ideas of Lenin!
		In South Africa in 1928, the young Communist Party was forced to adopt this theory in the form of the Native Republic Thesis which talked of the need to fight for "an independent native South African republic as a stage towards the a workers' and peasants' republic".
		S.P. Bunting, and the rest of the party's delegation that went to Congress of the Communist International where this discussion took place, were extremely critical of the CI position, and argued that the democratic, national and agrarian tasks of the South African revolution had to be achieved by means of the class struggle.
		The South African Communist Party has indeed moved away from the two-stage theory in the last few years, and this development is one which all Marxists should welcome, since this is not merely an obscure theoretical question, but one which is crucial to understand the nature and character of the South African revolution.

	South African Communist Party campaign against the banking sector
		Millions of South African workers and poor living in townships and rural areas are effectively red-lined by the banks which consider these areas as "high-risk" and refuse to give them loans or mortgages to buy or improve their houses.
		While it is clear that these are just demands the problem that the SACP leadership does not seem to grasp is that these demands on their own will not solve the problems of workers and the poor gaining access to the banking system.
		If the SACP leadership really wants to advance the cause of socialism it should have used this particular campaign to directly challenge the power of big banks by complementing the demands of the Red October with the slogan of the nationalisation of the banks under workers control.

		In the SACP and in the broader ANC-led alliance, we are convinced that this kind of development is neither irreversible nor inevitable.
		The key to meeting this challenge is the capacity of the ANC to foster the unity of its diverse constituencies, and in particular the unity of the working class and the most marginalized and downtrodden, the urban and rural poor.
		As South African communists we remain convinced that a strong, effective, mass-based and democratic ANC is the critical condition for the progressive elimination of the terrible legacy of racial oppression in our society.

	National Review: South Africa's Uncle Joe - profile of Joe Slovo, leader of South African Communist Party
		SACP cadres honeycomb the top leadership of the ANC (reliable South African sources estimate that 25 of the 33 members of the ANC governing council at the time of Mandela's release were Communist Party members) as well as the trade unions and other mass organizations controlled by the ANC.
		This pressure is being exerted both from within South Mrica and from Western countries, including the United States, whose influence on the course of South African events has grown as the Soviet Union's has dwindled.
		Under this regime, "power would be exercised in the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people and should lead to an ever-expanding genuine democracy." South Africans should be on their guard against converts to democracy who still believe that V. Lenin was the greatest democrat of them all.

		The party is therefore respected in the communities and is a key part of the ANC-led tripartite alliance…It has shown that, despite its loss of stature, it remained an independent critical voice when many were choosing to follow orthodoxy.
		Together with COSATU, the SACP has tried to be the voice that pulls the ANC and the government back to their stated objectives of improving the lives of South Africans.
		The SACP’s immediate focus is on socio-economic transformation – building of co-operatives, comprehensive social security, a growth and development strategy led by the state, transformation and diversification of the financial sector, and a systematic focus on the transformation of local government and local economic transformation.

		CAPE TOWN, South Africa – The South African Communist Party, often dismissed as a Cold War icon, is stronger than ever and manipulating the ruling African National Congress from behind the scenes, according to observers.
		The SACP and its "trilateral allies," the ruling African National Congress and COSATU, the 2 million-strong Marxist trade union – 80 percent of whom are ANC voters – are a formidable force, South Africa watchers say.
		The SACP attacks capitalism with old Marxist critiques, decrying the "systemic reproduction of Africa's peripheralization and development." The communists also applauded Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe's murder and seizure of white farms in that nation and blamed the white farmers and United Kingdom for the problem.

		A successful socialist revolution in South Africa would have a tremendous effect in all the neighbouring countries and throughout the world working class movement and could be the beginning of the struggle for socialism on a world scale.

		In discussion the dangers were mentioned of party members absorbed in TU work becoming lost to the party or debarred from doing party propaganda in TU’s or of fl and white TU unity being used to subordinate fl militancy to white reaction.
