Abstract: | Through the years, spokesmen of the ANC and the South African Communist Party (SACP) have presented a picture of two separate organizations working together amicably but independently for the removal of apartheid, without the one dominating the other. The present article, in two parts, questions this assumption, which has been widely accepted in political and academic circles. In the first part, the authors show that the Comintern, in accordance with Lenin's strategy for the Third World, originally ordered the SACP in 1928 to infiltrate the ANC and transform it into a revolutionary organization, while retaining its own independence and acquiring the crucial leadership positions within the ANC. They also show how the Party carried out this directive until the early 1960s. Notes, ref., sum. in English, text in Afrikaans. [Journal abstract] |
