ANC's National General Council kicks out SACP from joint election structures
Cape Times
|December 12, 2025
THE ANC's National General Council (NGC) has resolved that members of its alliance partner, the SACP, should recuse themselves from the party’s joint election structures.
This was announced by ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa in his closing remarks at the NGC meeting at the Birchwood Hotel in Ekurhuleni, where the organisation was reviewing its performance. His remarks followed the delivery of the NGC declaration by ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula.
The declaration was adopted without objection after being seconded by ANC Gauteng co-convener Panyaza Lesufi, followed by delegates from Limpopo.
ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe confirmed its adoption.
In his address, Ramaphosa tackled the SACP’s decision to contest the 2026 local government elections independently. He said the NGC had expressed deep concern over the weakened state of the tripartite alliance, which includes the ANC, SACP and Cosatu.
