South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has officially resolved to throw its weight behind the South African Communist Party (SACP) in the upcoming elections.

COSATU First Deputy President Mike Shingange emphasized that while the alliance remains strategically important, discussions are still ongoing within COSATU about whether or not to back the ANC in the upcoming polls.
