Red October

The Talking Point

Yesterday (Sunday) the SACP launched it Red October camping under the theme: Tackle the cost-of-living crisis and implement the NHI now. This theme reflects on the need to prioritize the recovery of the working class after facing limited access to public goods. The campaign also seeks to address how the party can share proposals on overcoming unemployment, poverty as well as inequlity in South Africa.

This morning, we invited the South African Communist Party to share some of their insights. We ask them what a caring socialist outlook could help build a better society that uplifts the dignity of workers. The party forms part of the tripartite alliance and play a critical role in setting the agenda when it comes to government policy and what direction society should be taking in achieving the national democratic revolution. We just wanted to understand how impactful is this campaign in positioning the party as leader in society two decades later.
