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.
