Abstract:This article draws the bulk of its material from contemporary newspapers or documents published by the Communist Party of South Africa and its predecessors and from publications of the Communist International, but it also utilizes unpublished documents of left-wing socialist groups from a private collection in South Africa. It gives a fuller and more detailed analysis than hitherto published of the process leading up to the formation of the party, with particular attention to the manoeuvres of various left-wing socialists in the seven months preceding the event (30 July 1921). In addition, it seeks to place the creation of the party not only in its South African setting, but to describe its links with the international socialist movement. Notes.
