3 October 2003
The South African Communist Party (SACP) joins South Africa and the rest of the literary world to congratulate John Maxwell Coetzee for being awarded the 2003 Nobel Literature Award.
The SACP salutes Coetzee for his consistent and penetrating analysis and critique of social injustice.
He joins the likes of Chief Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and others who are a special group of South Africans who have been recognised internationally for their role in the complex social drama unfolding in our country, continent and world.
All power to the pen!
