ANC Statement, 26 January 2015
Mpumalanga Violence Incidence
The African National Congress is shocked and deeply disturbed by the
incidence of violence witnessed yesterday between ANC and SACP supporters in
Mpumalanga.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the actions carried out in the
name of our organization and distance the ANC from such hooliganism and
intolerance. There can be no justification for the behavior displayed and
the ANC will leave no stone unturned in the quest to get to the bottom of
this matter and discipline those who acted as ANC members in the execution
of such dastardly acts.
The relationship between the African National Congress and the South African
Communist Party is one formed over many decades of fighting shoulder to
shoulder in the trenches to liberate our people. Whims of individuals that
undermine this historical and revered Alliance reveal a lack of
understanding, by those who commit such acts, of the selfless sacrifices of
many comrades who paid the ultimate price for peace, liberty and tolerance.
Yesterday's humiliating acts are an affront and attack of the legacy
bestowed upon us by Comrades Joe Slovo, Chris Hani, Moses Kotane, JB Marks,
Chief Albert Luthuli, Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela and many other
compatriots who devoted their lives to preserving our vision of seeing, in
the words of Comrade Joe Slovo, the party's red flag flying side by side
with the black, green and gold of our national liberation movement.
The ANC trusts that the Provincial Executive Committee in Mpumalanga will
act with haste to identify and bring to book the instigators and
perpetrators of yesterday's actions.
