To the South African Communist Party

Dear Comrades,

On behalf of the National Council of the Workers` Party of Belgium we would like to transmit our warmest congratulations to the Central Committee and to the militants of South African Comunist Party for the historical victory of the African National Congress in the general elections of 24th April.

This victory means that the South African masses still consider the ANC united to the SACP and Cosatu as the forces that continue the struggle against the remains of colonialism and oppression and against imperialism.

This victory proves the strong ties between your party and the South African workers. It is a victory that goes beyond the boundaries of South Africa. Amidst the international crisis, the South African working class shows the way of resistance and struggle for the African peoples and for the peoples whole over the world.

Your victory encourages us in our struggle against capitalist exploitation and imperialism. Our militant friendship can only enhance and contribute to the optimism with which we take up our revolutionary tasks.

Therefore, we reiterate our fraternal greetings to the South African communists and workers.

For the Natiopnal Council of the Workers` Party of Belgium

Peter mertens, President
