Abstract: | The answers to the questions about the relationships between the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) determine a wide range of positions. This article assembles and discusses what evidence there is on the issue of the ANC/SACP. It is argued that the mutual involvement of the ANC and SACP is, and has been extensive: that the SACP plays a prominent role in determining ANC ideology and policy objectives; that the present advantages to the ANC of SACP involvement outweigh the disadvantages and that the ANC, because of the increasingly close links of the SACP with Eastern bloc countries and the Soviet Union, may eventually take steps to jettison the SACP. - Notes. |
