The South African Communist Party (SACP) held its ‘Conference of the Left’ on May 29, 2026, inviting left-wing groups including the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the MK Party, while the African National Congress (ANC) chose not to attend. This exclusion reflects deepening tensions within South Africa’s ruling alliance, potentially affecting cooperation among key political forces. The conference’s outcomes may influence the balance of power on the left and future political alliances in South Africa.
