SACP: Political left at crossroads

The political left in South Africa is at a crossroads in the history of its revolution, the South African Communist Party (SACP) said in a policy discussion document released on Wednesday.

The struggle to build a coherent, working-class biased, developmental state involves a struggle against the grave dangers of factionalising the state apparatus, and particularly sensitive areas of the state apparatus like courts, prosecutorial authorities, SAPS investigators and the intelligence services.

"Unfortunately there have been worrying developments over the last several years in this regard.

"The SACP needs to be in the forefront of fighting against such tendencies."

"We need to fight for the integrity, the professionalism and the independence of the criminal justice system and its component parts," the document said.
