SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande has warned members of the alliance to fight their wars outside the party.
"We know that there are people who are aggrieved, but they should know that the SACP is not a refuge for people to fight their battles," Nzimande said.
Speaking at the closing of the Red October Festival rally and the launch of the 2011 local government election campaign in Ashdown Stadium in Pietermaritzburg at the weekend, Nzimande said they were aware that certain people within the ANC-led alliance sought to destroy the party.
He reaffirmed a united force among the alliance partners, saying there were no problems in the ANC or cracks big enough to justify any divisions.
"There are no problems in the ANC," he said. "Problems are created by self-serving and greedy individuals.
"We need to sweep those elements out of the ANC.
"We do not need people in our movement who want to accumulate wealth."
The alliance's top brass - including ANC provincial chairperson Zweli Mkhize, his deputy Willies Mchunu, SACP provincial secretary Themba Mthembu, Yunus Carrim, Christine Olivier and Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini - were in attendance.
Dlamini said there was no need to form an alternative force against the ANC.
He said they were still happy in the alliance.
"The ANC remains the hope of the people of this country and the nation," he said.
