We have re-affirmed the alliance [and] its programme. That\u2019s why [we&#8217;re] here. We are talking about the intensification of our grassroot mobilisation and people\u2019s work to deepen the national democratic revolution. There is still economic inequality in this country. The white minority still controls the largest sections of the economy, corporations have now been legalised to take over the economy of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mapaila said that the SACP has a number of non-negotiables, should the alliance ever be reconfigured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will never accept unilateralism; we need collective engagement. We remain open to engaging with the ANC, but this engagement should not be premised on the basis that [we] should withdraw from participating in the elections, then we have a talk. No. What kind of a demand is that? That\u2019s also non-negotiable because we have never asked them to withdraw their positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Africa<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
