# South African Communist Party deputy national chairperson Thulas Nxesi says the party is not seeking to weaken its alliance with the ANC, but to reconfigure it. This comes as the ANC national executive council meet this weekend to find a way forward with the alliance ahead of the local government elections. Nxesi said differences within the alliance must be handled with maturity, especially after the SACP’s decision to contest elections independently. He called for discipline and unity while advancing working-class interests.
