Gauteng Premier and Co-Convenor of the ANC Provincial Task Team, Panyaza Lesufi has urged party members to safeguard the alliance with the SACP.
This follows the SACPs announcement that it plans to contest the 2026 elections independently under a reconfigured alliance.
Speaking at the ANCs Johannesburg regional conference in Sandton, Lesufi warned that internal differences must not weaken or collapse the partnership.
