| In 1931, following the [[police]] murder of communist organizer [[Johannes Nkosi]], the [[Communist International (1919–1943)|Comintern]] [[International Red Aid]] established a South African branch called [[Ikaka la Basebenzi|''Ikaka la Basebenzi'']] (Workers' Shield).

| General Secretary [[Moses Kotane]] rejected a proposal to split the party along racial lines in 1938. He promoted the Africanisation of the party and increased cooperation with the [[African National Congress]]. In 1943, the CPSA participated in the [[Anti-Pass Conference]].<ref name=":0">{{Web citation|date=2023-03-31|title=Josie Mpama|url=https://thetricontinental.org/studies-feminisms-5-josie-mpama-of-struggle-women-in-struggle/|newspaper=[[Tricontinental]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412070443/https://thetricontinental.org/studies-feminisms-5-josie-mpama-of-struggle-women-in-struggle/|archive-date=2023-04-12|retrieved=2023-04-16|author=Josie Mpama}}</ref>
