October 20, 2009 -- Rhodes University, Grahamstown -- "The left movement outside the South African Communist Party is weak, fragmented and disorganised", said Mazibuko Jara, former South African Community Party (SACP) spokesperson and editor of /Amandla/ magazine during a public dialogue at Rhodes University on October 16.
"The majority of the people in South Africa still look up to the ANC as their only hope and anyone who wants to start a new left party must take this into account," he said. According to Jara, a new left wing political party must try to mobilise as many people as possible and unite all the left organisations in the country. Jara, together with Vishwas Satgar, a former Gauteng provincial secretary of the SACP, are leading an initiative to establish a new left political party in South Africa because of the dissatisfaction with the SACP's leadership.
