The Central Committee (CC) of the South African Communist Party will meet in Johannesburg on 27 and 28 August 2004.
The CC will release its statement at a Press Conference to be held as follows:
DATE - Sunday, 29 August 2004
TIME - 10h30 to 11h15
VENUE - SACP Head Office Boardroom, 3rd floor, COSATU House, 1 Leyds Street,

The theme of the CC will focus on the mobilisation of the workers and the poor as progressive motive forces to accelerate land and agrarian transformation in South Africa as part of Party preparations for the our 2004 Red October Campaign and Plan.
Our 2004 Red October Campaign is to launch a sustained campaign on acceleration of land and agrarian transformation, primarily directed at commercial agriculture. To this end we have invited the Minister of Land and Agriculture, Cde Thoko Msane-Didiza, to address and engage with the Central Committee on progress and in land and agrarian transformation. This theme will be the focus of the Political Report to be delivered to the CC by Party General Secretary, Blade Nzimande (see Red Alert article in Umsebenzi Online, 25 August 2004, SACP website - www.sacp.org.za).
The CC will also be dealing with other critically important matters, including evaluation of developments within ANC, Alliance and government since the elections. The CC will also undertake a comprehensive class analysis of the first ten years of our democracy, in order to identify some key challenges facing the Party over the next decade. In addition we will be undertaking a comprehensive review progress of our financial sector campaign and decide on appropriate action in the wake of slow delivery by the financial industry to millions of our people.
