South African Communist Party

The South African Communist Party (SACP) is a political organization that promotes socialist ideals, advocating for economic equality, workers' rights, and social justice. Founded in 1921, it operates as a Marxist-Leninist party and has historically been allied with the African National Congress (ANC). The SACP influences policy discussions on poverty reduction, public ownership, and social welfare. While it does not run independently in elections, it plays a significant role in shaping South Africa's political landscape, focusing on transforming economic structures and promoting the interests of marginalized communities.
