SACP Gauteng Humbled by Resounding ANC Election Victory Against All Odds
12 May 2019
The South African Communist Party (SACP) in Gauteng Province is humbled by the resilience, courage and decisiveness of the working class and revolutionary people to defend the National Democratic Revolution (NDR) in our province. Non-racialism, non-sexism, democracy and unity, as the only scientific basis of resolving class contradictions, have been defended against backwardness, racism and degenerate politics.
This election victory means that the ANC, in our province, is given yet another full mandate to constitute the 6th administration and implement the ANC election manifesto. We are confident that the Alliance and the new administration will deeply internalise and appreciate this uncompromising militancy by the working class and revolutionary people.
We believe that this electoral victory calls for a renewed approach to unity of the Alliance, strong organisation on the ground and government that will continue to consolidate its service delivery achievements and keep close contact with the people, through the Ntirhisano Community Outreach program.
We call on the new administration to remain unrelenting in the fight against corruption, corporate capture of the state and the malice of looting in our province. We believe that it was in this powerful posture for clean administration that the working class trusted and will continue to trust the ANC.
We can say without fear of contradiction that we have heard the revolutionary voice of the working class, echoed loud and clear at the ballot box, and dare not take this revolutionary voice for granted.
We thank the working class and revolutionary people for defending the NDR against an extremely unfavourable balance of class forces that constitute a unique reality on the terrain of class struggle in our province.
We entered this election on the back-foot due to the scientific truth that a big space, population, resources and state power in the Cities of Tshwane and Johannesburg are currently under the direct control of the imploding coalition and collusion of reactionary forces. In other words, the results of the elections could have been worse and even more severe. It is precisely in this context that we confidently say, this was a decisive, overwhelming and resounding election victory.
We are humbled that the economic power house of our country and the continent remains firmly in the hands of the revolutionary Alliance, guided by the Freedom Charter, that is, the only scientific basis for resolving the historic legacy of Colonialism of a Special Type (CST) and direct solid basis to build socialism in our country.
We will in due course deploy our Marxist-Leninist tools of class analysis to deep-dive into the class realities and complexities of the election outcomes and pave a clear way-forward to consolidate the NDR.
Considering all the odds and the balance sheet of class power in our province in this election campaign, we are much better, stronger, motivated and rejuvenated to work even harder to ensure that the NDR stays solidly on track.
