History[edit | edit source]
Early years[edit | edit source]
The Communist Party of South Africa began its founding conference on 30 July 1921.
In 1931, following the police murder of communist organizer Johannes Nkosi, the Comintern International Red Aid established a South African branch called Ikaka la Basebenzi (Workers' Shield).
General Secretary Moses Kotane rejected a proposal to split the party along racial lines in 1938. He promoted the Africanisation of the party and increased cooperation with the African National Congress. In 1943, the CPSA participated in the Anti-Pass Conference.[1]
Banning[edit | edit source]
In 1950, South Africa banned the party and forced it underground. The party renamed itself from the CPSA to SACP.[1]
