Workers International Vanguard Party

The Workers International Vanguard Party (WIVP;[1] formerly the Workers International Vanguard League, WIVL) is a Trotskyist organisation in South Africa.

In 1991, it became the South African section of the Workers International to Rebuild the Fourth International (WIRFI), and it finally became an open group when it stood candidates in the 1994 South African general election, winning 5,481 votes.

In 1996, after a dispute about the conclusions to be drawn from the break-up of the WIRFI, the vast majority of members left to form the WIVL.

As the remainder of the South African WIRFI group soon dissolved, the WIVL claims to be the successor to this organisation.

In June 2009, the WIVL became founder members of the International Leninist-Trotskyist Fraction.
