Workers’ Parliament-Back2Basics
Workers are ready to fill FNB Stadium for the ANC's Siyanqoba Rally 25 May 2024
Matthew Parks, COSATU Acting National Spokesperson & Parliamentary Coordinator, 24 May 2024
Workers are ready to fill FNB Stadium for our ally, the African National Congress (ANC)’s Siyanqoba Rally at 9am Saturday 25 May 2024.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions and the entire leadership of not only the Federation but all of our Affiliates have been crisscrossing the length and breadth of Gauteng to not only ensure workers fill FNB Stadium on Saturday but more importantly that we will the voting stations at 7am on Wednesday 29 May in defence of workers’ hard-won rights.
COSATU has been meeting with and engaging workers from taxi ranks in Mamelodi to factories in Sedibeng, from the mines of Carletonville to the farms of Krugersdorp.
Workers are clear.
They are excited to declare their support at the Siyanqoba Rally in their numbers.
Affiliates have unleashed one of the most extensive canvassing and blitzing, workplace and community meetings, religious gatherings and public engagements programmes in living memory.
Transport has been put in place to assist workers to fill FNB Stadium and show to the entire nation that workers are united, they are clear in their support for the ANC and come election day, the ANC will be returned to office with an outright majority.
The groundswell of support for the ANC, in defence of the rights of workers and to extend the many gains we have won since 1994 is humbling.
Workers are heartened by the real progress South Africa is making under the leadership of the President of the ANC and the incoming President of the 7th Administration, Cyril Ramaphosa to renew the ANC, tackle corruption, end loadshedding, remove obstacles to growing the economy, slash unemployment, protect the rights of workers and provide relief to the poor and unemployed.
COSATU is ready.
FNB Stadium’s 90 000 plus seats will be filled to capacity.
The ANC will be returned to office.
Siyanqoba!

One-China principle essential for the protection of the United Nations Charter and the cause that the UN must serve under the Charter – SACP reaffirms this UN determination and its support for the One-China principle
Dr Alex Mohubetswane Mashilo, SACP Central Committee Member, National Spokesperson & Political Bureau Secretary for Policy and Research, 20 May 2024
One-China principle essential for the protection of the United Nations Charter and the cause that the UN must serve under the Charter – SACP reaffirms this UN determination and its support for the One-China principle.
Monday, 20 May 2024: The South African Communist Party reaffirms its unwavering support for the One-China principle. There is only one sovereign state under the name China. The People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate representative of China and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.
One hundred and eighty-three countries, including democratic South Africa, have established diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic of China – based on the One-China principle. The One-China principle expresses an unalterable historical fact which guides the diplomatic norm.
The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 makes it clear that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the only lawful representative of China. This resolution, as it states in its text, “is essential both for the protection of the Charter of the United Nations and for the cause that the United Nations must serve under the Charter”. As part of the resolution, the United Nations General Assembly expelled the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the United Nations and all the organisations related to it.
Change of leadership in China’s region of Taiwan at any point in time, including at this moment, does not alter the historical fact that the region is an inseparable part of China. The leaders of the party called “Democratic Progressive Party” are but a regional leadership in China’s Taiwan region and must respect the UN resolution.

International-Solidarity
SACP reiterates its solidarity with the people and government of Cuba, condemns US-led imperialist aggression and inclusion of Cuba on the so-called list of countries "sponsoring" terrorism
Dr Alex Mohubetswane Mashilo, Central Committee Member
National Spokesperson & Political Bureau Secretary for Policy and Research, 20 May 2024
The South African Communist Party reiterates its solidarity with the people and government of Cuba against the United States-led imperialist aggression.
The SACP reiterates its call for the US to lift its illegal economic, financial, trade and investment blockade against Cuba, end its occupation of Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay, and completely cease all destabilisation and regime change machinations against Cuba unconditionally with immediate effect.
We strongly condemn the United States’ inclusion of Cuba on the so-called list of countries “sponsoring” terrorism – a pretext by the US to sustain its over 60 years of imperialist aggression against Cuba.
According to media reports from the US, on 15 May 2024 the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken submitted yet another arbitrary report to the US Congress. As Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs states in its statement released on 15 May 2024, this time around the report does not slanderously include Cuba among countries so-called “not fully co-operating with the US anti-terrorist efforts for the 2023 calendar year”. However, the US maintains Cuba on the list of so-called countries sponsoring terrorism, which the US draws up unilaterally, without any international mandate or recognition. The SACP reiterates its call for the removal of Cuba from the list.
