The South African Communist Party has a century-long history of exploring socialism amid hardships. As a Marxist-Leninist party, it has led the working class in struggles while upholding communist ideals. It integrates Marxism-Leninism with South Africa’s realities and advances the national democratic revolution via alliance with the ANC. Facing current challenges, it reflects deeply, forms new perceptions, and uses its century-long experience to boost the innovation and development of South Africa’s socialist cause.
