SACP backs Nzimande
Johannesburg - The South African Communist Party (SACP) said on Monday that it stands by its general secretary Blade Nzimande in his criticism of the ANC but called for an end to the public spats within the tripartite alliance.
"The extended politburo re-affirmed its belief that much as robust debate is necessary in our intra-alliance engagements, nevertheless these must not be personalised or seek to question the integrity of any partner and its leadership," said the SACP politburo after it met in Johannesburg.
It was responding to recent criticism of Nzimande by the ANC's national executive committee, after Nzimande publicly criticised President Thabo Mbeki's management style.
The politburo said it was "unanimous in expressing its full confidence in the ability and capacity of the general secretary to continue articulating the positions of our party".
It said it remained committed to the tripartite alliance between the ANC, SACP and Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu), and called for an urgent 10-aside meeting of the alliance to discuss unspecified "pertinent matters affecting the movement".
