SACP Gauteng Province congratulates African National Congress (ANC) for a succesful and united 12th Provincial Conference
5 October 2014
SACP GAUTENG PROVINCE congratulates its historic primary political alliance partner, African National Congress for an overwhelmingly successful and united 12th Provincial Conference held from the 3rd-5th October 2014. 12th Conference was attended by democratically elected delegates representing the revolutionary membership of the ANC. Alliance partners SACP, COSATU AND SANCO and international fraternal structures and embassies also attended the Conference.
SACP believes that the maximum unity displayed by delegates to the Conference is a profound development that lays the basis for the province of Gauteng to rise on new foundations as our revolutionary song The International would suggest.
SACP deeply appreciate the commitment of the 12th Conference to the maximum unity of the revolutionary Alliance led by the ANC.
SACP firmly believe that this ``new foundations" will push back the frontiers of forces of "low intensity counter-revolution" now taking the form of fascism, anarchy, use of violence and rejection of democracy.
SACP further believe that the maximum unity displaced by delegates has laid a solid basis for a radical second phase of the National Democratic Revolution, with the ANC-led Alliance leading organs of the state in a more coherent, complementary and decisive manner, thus hopefully ending the abstraction of the last five years of "two centres of power".
In this regard, SACP reaffirms its long held view that reference to an abstraction of "two centres of power`` does not as the commercial media portrays it, refer to a contest and clash of personalities. It simply refers to the reconfiguration of power relations between the ANC-led Alliance as the only centre of power, and the state organs of the revolutionary people.
SACP is confident that the maximum unity displayed by delegates will further serve to consolidate, deepen and advance the NDR as we move towards the 2016 local government elections.
SACP congratulated all leaders as elected democratically by show of maximum unity, a revolutionary practice to be upheld moving forward.
SACP is looking forward to working with the newly elected leadership and to implement 12th Conference resolutions.
