# The South African Communist Party has condemned the recent attack on deputy president Paul Mashatile’s convoy. He was on his way from an ANC national executive committee meeting when his convoy was shot at in Boksburg, near the N12. The SACP says this criminal act represents not only an assault on an individual but a direct attack on the democratic institutions of the country. It adds that such actions are intolerable and must be met with the full force of the law.
