The recent violent events during the week of 11-18 July 2021, mainly confined to the two most populous provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, marked a turning point in the social and economic crisis that has been brewing for most of the time in post-94 South Africa.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV560-September-2021-" rel="directory">IV560 - September 2021</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-South-Africa-+" rel="tag">South Africa</a> https://internationalviewpoint.org/What-should-we-make-of-the-SACP-s-latest-critical-posture-of-the-ANC-rot-an https://internationalviewpoint.org/What-should-we-make-of-the-SACP-s-latest-critical-posture-of-the-ANC-rot-an 2017-05-29T05:39:55Z text/html en Gunnett Kaaf South Africa <p>Over the last two years, the South African Communist Party (SACP) has been growing extremely critical of the ANC rot. After the State of Capture Report by the Public Protector last year, they came out guns blazing on President Jacob Zuma and his corrupt relationship with the Guptas. They openly said he should cut all ties with the Guptas. They were so scathing in their criticism of JZ, that they only stopped short of calling for his resignation at the time. The dropping of three prominent SACP Central Committee members from the cabinet after the 2014 elections seems to have soured relations between the ANC and SACP. The increasing dominance of the Premier League within the Zuma group, after the 2014 elections, is another factor that led to the alienation of the SACP from the JZ inner circle.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV508-May-2017-" rel="directory">IV508 - May 2017</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-South-Africa-+" rel="tag">South Africa</a>
