Review of Red Road to Freedom: A History of the South African Communist Party 1921–2021 by Tom Lodge (Johannesburg: Jacana Media, 2021) Moses Kotane was the longest-serving leader of the South African Communist Party (SACP) and an iconic figure in South African politics who helped forge the party’s long-standing alliance with the African National Congress (ANC). In 1938, he explained what had drawn him toward communism: “I am first an African and then a Communist. I came to the Communist Party because I saw in it the way out and the salvation for the African people.”
