The South African Communist Party (SACP) says the ANC is in a state of paralysis, which is making the governing party ineffective.
The party was speaking at a media briefing in Johannesburg on Sunday, following its central committee meeting ahead of the party's national congress next month.
It says a barrage of leaked emails, the apparent sheer scale of corporate capture and what it called, the 'parasitic plundering of public resources by the Gupta family' is eroding the ANC's integrity.
SACP General-Secretary Blade Nzimande says the ANC is headed for trouble if it doesn't self-correct.
"It is no secret that the ANC is now in deep crisis. At the highest national leadership level, it is paralysed by deep divisions that for the moment, render it incapable of undertaking the decisive corrective measures that the great majority of ordinary ANC members and supporters now clearly recognise as imperative, beginning with the stepping down of President Zuma. At this rate of decline, the ANC may not retain its electoral majority in 2019 and further organisational fragmentation cannot be ruled
