PART 2: A dark horse of the reds  Aug 2, 2012 | Olebogeng
Molatlhwa | 4 comments  Olebogeng Molatlhwa spoke to newly
elected SA Communist Party chairman, Senzeni Zokwana, about the
future of the non-governmental political party...  TOP POST?:
NUM president Senzeni Zokwana.  Q: By not contesting elections,
how is the SACP able to gauge, outside of its membership,
whether your ideas, values and principles are still relevant and
acceptable to the electorate and whether or not you may need to
adjust them to gain favour?  A: The SACP  has been able to go to
areas where, I can't say failures, but where provision of
services has been questioned and we could find that the people
still believe in our views.  The issue you are raising is quite
important and the party will have to engage on it soon, but that
debate cannot take place in isolation of contesting elections,
without looking at the strength of the party...  I'm sure the
party is in a building phase
