Chris Hani Would Oppose Today's Politics: Mapaila

The South African Communist Party SACP General Secretary Solly Mapaila says that their assassinated leader Chris Hani stood against what is currently happening politically in the country.

Mapailas party statement comes as the SACPs tri-partite alliance partner, the ANC, contends with deep divisions in the GNU.

Mapaila was speaking in Mahikeng in the North West at the commemoration of the life of Hani, who was killed 32 years ago.

We cant be prophetic about what comrade Chris would have said, but what he stood for is not what is happening in our country in the sense that Chris, when he explained in simple language the struggle for socialism, was talking about decent housing for the people, health for all our people, clean drinking water for all our people, and education for all our people, and that we should control the tyranny of the markets - the oppression of our people by the capitalist system - all these still exist. So, essentially, well continue on the front line to fight against capitalism.
