Tripartite alliance 'must stand against political violence'
General-Secretary of the SACP Blade Nzimande says they are concerned about their relationship with alliance partners, the ANC.
Nzimande's been speaking in Inchanga after a visit to the family of Phillip Dlamini who was killed during an SACP event on Sunday.
The event had been meant to be a feedback session to the community on issues raised including that members who do not support particular factions within the ruling party were being blocked from attaining membership.
Nzimande says KwaZulu-Natal cannot go back to its days of political violence.
"We cannot allow killings to happen again. That is why we say the alliance as a whole, both provincially and nationally, will have to stand up to stamp this thing out and ensure that there are no reprisals that must happen," he said.
