African National Congress (ANC) president Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the South African Communist Party (SACP) congress on Friday morning amid fresh tensions among the organisation’s members on the relevance of the governing party at the gathering.
Addressing the party’s fifteenth national congress on Wednesday night, Zokwana emphasised the need for the unity of the alliance amid sentiments in the party that the ANC appeared to be undermining the organisation.
Delegates at the congress are expected to elect new leaders, with all eyes on outgoing general secretary, Blade Nzimande, who has committed to stepping down from the post he has occupied for 24 years.
Leaders of the SACP in Gauteng, Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal are said to be pushing for Higher Education, Science, and Innovation Minister Blade Nzimande to return to the helm of the party.
The cluster was updating reporters in Pretoria on the progress made in implementing the findings of the panel of experts that looked into the cause of the anarchy.
