Talk:South African Communist Party

message: How many SACP MPs are there elected on the ANC ticket? I know the former premier of the Northern Cape province was an SACP member, but I'd be curious to know how strong a player this represents within the ANC parliamentary caucus. Cheers, QuartierLatin1968 17:22, 5 April 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of SACP MPs elected on the ANC ticket? 

message: Before Chris Hani was asassinated he was elected on the ANC ticket and later appointed Secretary General of the SACP. When interviewed by the SABC and asked how he reconciled holding these two positions with his democratic ideals, or did they mean communist ideals?, he said that they "we" were using democracy at the moment, but would "change modality later" (his words..). Makes you think, does it not?

message: I cut this out of the edit history for convenience:
"11:48, 31 March 2006 User:Kjetor (New National Party formed after 94, not before, hence I deleted part of the sentence dealing with the National Party)."
I agree with what you have done even though I appear to have contributed the bit you changed..
There were initiatives on all sides to move the process forward. In government circles we had Group Affairs (the grey haired afrikaans academic).. and also de Klerk appearing on SABC TV at an early Potch meeting persuading nats why we have to change the system..

thread_title:  What eventually led to the end of Apartheid rule 

message: This line at the end of the second paragraph confuses me: "By 1948 the Party had officially abandoned the Native Republic policy."  This does not fit with the rest of the paragraph saying that the SACP was trying to better support the Blacks.
:Having started with fighting for a "white South Africa", the CPSA was switched to fighting for a "Native Republic", i.e. a "black South Africa", thus losing it white working-class support.  It switched again to a "non-racial South Africa" with consequences for the ANC policy and the 1990s transition.  But much of this was decided in Moscow and the Comintern's ideas on nationalism around the world.--Rumping (talk) 15:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion 

message: The following quote is inaccurate and should either be removed or a credible citation given: "The vast majority of white miners mainly held supervisory positions over the laboring black miners."
The fact is that white persons were at all levels of working in the mines (with most doing manual labour). A lot of white miners protested because they could not compete with black miners on the same pay scale.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.207.47.60 (talk) 18:38, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: In the post-apartheid section, Mandela is quoted
"There will always be those who say that the Communists were using us. But who is to say that we were not using them?"
This quote however refers to the apartheid era and should be moved up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayokayo9 (talk • contribs) 19:53, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  SACP and ANC 

message: The SACP has issued an official statement that Mandela was a Party member and on the Party Central Commitee. I came to this article to find out more, but it is not here. Could we have a properly sourced statement as to the beginning and end date of Mandela's membership, and the beginning and end date of his Central Commitee membership? Access to simple facts like these are what Wikipedia should be all about. 2.25.28.194 (talk) 00:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mandela's membership: when? 

message: I'm not convinced that the "Black Power" template belongs on this article. Since quite early in its history the SACP has been explicitly non-racial, as opposed to pro-black. Over the years many white people have held leadership positions within the party, and still do. The Black Power template also seems to be concentrated on American racial politics rather than having a more global view. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
