South African Communist Party (SACP)

The South African Communist Party (SACP) is a political organization in South Africa advocating for socialist principles, including economic equality and workers' rights. Founded in 1921, it aims to promote social justice and opposes capitalism's inequalities. The SACP works closely with the ruling African National Congress (ANC), often collaborating on policies to reduce poverty and promote transformation. While it is a separate party, its influence is significant in shaping South Africa’s political landscape, particularly through its commitment to socialism and the rights of marginalized groups.
