# The National, Education and Allied Workers’ Union says the SACP’s electoral performance must serve as a building block for strengthening its presence amongst communities and consolidating its role in the struggles of the working class. Contesting the local government elections independently for the first time, the SACP will have 264 councillors take up their seats when councils meet for the first time in just over two weeks. NEHAWU’s spokesperson, Lwazi Nkolonzi, says the SACP’s electoral performance shows there is a need for working-class political representation:
