The African National Congress's National Executive Committee convened a special meeting in Boksburg to discuss the South African Communist Party's plan to contest the 2026 local elections independently. ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula revealed that bilateral talks with the SACP last week did not sway their position. The SACP insists its move stems from the ANC's long-standing inaction on alliance reconfiguration.
