Tripartite Alliance

The Tripartite Alliance is an alliance between the African National Congress (ANC), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the South African Communist Party (SACP).[1][2] The ANC holds a majority in the South African parliament, while the SACP and COSATU have not contested any democratic election in South Africa.

For the envisioned Anglo-French-Soviet alliance of 1939, see Tripartite military talks.
