The Independent Electoral Commission - IEC - YESTERDAY issued a notice to de-register the South African Communist Party - SACP - and a host of other inactive political parties. The affected political organisations have until the 24th of March to make submissions to the Electoral Commission detailing why they should not be de-registered. The IEC says the parties did not fulfill their obligations by failing to indicate their continued existence to the Commission. This development comes as the SACP's  recently made public it's decision to contest the 2026 polls independently. For their reaction Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SACP National spokesperson Alex Mashilo
