JOINT STATEMENT BY THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS
The senior leadership of the African National Congress and the South African Communist Party met today to discuss issues of mutual concern and our common programme.
The President of the ANC in summarising indicated that mistakes have been made on both sides. The SACP, in the context of the discussions, re-affirmed its regret at the booing that occurred at the Special National Congress in December 2009. Both parties agreed that there would be no further personalised public attacks on each other.
We commit to frequent discussions at a bilateral level to discuss how to give effect to our key priorities, namely health, education, rural development, creation of decent jobs and the fight against crime and corruption.
