The article emphasizes the critical need for unity within the South African political alliance, particularly in light of current factionalism. Drawing on the legacy of Moses Kotane, a key figure in the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP), it argues that movements inherit not just victories but also the responsibility to uphold principles of collective purpose and accountability. Kotane believed that ideological clarity and a commitment to social justice were essential for a successful liberation movement. His approach to unity involved embracing differences as strengths rather than weaknesses, fostering a culture of robust engagement and open debate. The article warns that electoral rivalries among alliance partners could undermine decades of hard-won unity and betray the foundational principles of the liberation struggle. It calls for a recommitment to Kotane's vision of revolutionary unity, grounded in the realities of the working class and the needs of the majority, to navigate contemporary challenges and secure a just future for South Africa.
