Johannesburg – The SA Communist Party will this week reflect on how to better reposition itself, following criticism that it no longer represents the working class.

SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande on Monday said members would reflect on what kind of organisation they wanted to build, at a special national congress which starts in Soweto on Tuesday.

“We are a vanguard party with a mass character. That is how we have defined ourselves,” he said.

“We are building this communist party within the context of an alliance at this point in time, but as our late general secretary would have said, comrade Chris [Hani], we need a communist party which is adaptable and flexible to any conditions that may arise. That’s what we trying to do.”
