ANC calls for meeting with SACP

ALTHOUGH the ANC was disappointed by the SACP’s decision to go solo and contest Free State’s Metsimaholo municipality by-elections, the governing party would “further engage” with its alliance partner, ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said.

“The ANC NEC (national executive committee) views this decision as regrettable. In line with the decision of the Alliance Political Council held last month, the NEC has called for a follow-up meeting to be held without delay,” Mantashe said. – ANA
