In South Africa, the Communist Party organized a Left Conference this weekend. The objective is to unify left-wing forces around common priorities. This initiative is part of a context of growing tensions within the historic alliance between the ANC and the Communist Party, which announced in April that it would stand independently of Nelson Mandela's party in the municipal elections next November.
