# The South African Communist Party has criticised the ANC, after the governing party refused to participate in the upcoming Conference of the Left. The conference, themed “Building a Left Movement for Working-Class and Popular Power”, will be attended by various leftist political parties and unions. ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula accused the initiative of being a political project aimed at undermining the party. The SACP says it strongly rejects this posture as arrogant and indicative of an inward-looking and self-glorifying tendency of those in high positions in the ANC at this time.
