The South African Communist Party (SACP) is a political party in South Africa that was founded in 1921. It aims to promote socialism and communism in the country, advocating for the working class and the poor. The SACP has historically aligned itself with the African National Congress (ANC) and has played a role in the anti-apartheid movement. The party's ideology is based on Marxism-Leninism, and it seeks to address issues such as economic inequality and social justice. The SACP is also involved in various labor movements and has a significant influence on South African politics, particularly through its participation in the Tripartite Alliance with the ANC and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU).
