The SACP’s Western Cape executive met on Saturday to discuss their game plan following the recent local government elections.

The party has a single council seat in each of three hung municipalities across the Western Cape: Knysna, Saldanha Bay, and Theewaterskloof.
SACP Provincial Secretary Benson Ngqentsu said coalitions were often motivated by greed.
Ngqentsu said: “Many hung municipalities have collapsed because coalition arrangements are made for patronage and personal accumulation. What kind of a communist councillor must we have? Those are important issues which the communist party will be seized with in this meeting today.”
