We never said we will work with MK - SACP official
The Citizen|December 12, 2024
The South African Communist Party (SACP) wants nothing to do with Jacob Zuma's uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party because it is a counter-revolutionary organisation that will take the country on the wrong path.

This is according to SACP general secretary Solly Mapaila, who clarified the accusation levelled against the party that it opposed the ANC's cooperation with the DA because it was pushing for the ANC to be aligned with MK.

Mapaila dismissed the accusation, saying it was a mischief emanating from some in the ANC and certain sections of the media.

He told journalists at the party's fifth special national congress in Boksburg yesterday the SACP was not in alliance with MK, nor was it planning to do so.

"As the SACP, we never said we will work with MK party, we never said that. We said we are not going to the DA and MK," Mapaila said.

He mentioned two Sunday newspapers, which continuously published allegations about the SACP working with the MK party against the ANC.

"We have no formal relations with the MK party. If there was anything, we would have said so," Mapaila said.
