The African National Congress is light years beyond the liberation
movement of old. It remains a juggernaut, but its control and
dominance are no longer watertight. The ANC lives the
contradictions of weaknesses, cracks and factions while retaining
its colossal status. As a party-movement it draws on its liberation
credentials, and extracts immense power from its deep anchorage in
South Africa's people. It is immersed in electoral politics that
marks the state of its overwhelming power cyclically. As government
the ANC is the object of protest, but not protest designed to bring
the ruling party to its knees. The ANC is in command of the state,
yet fails to definitively counter the deficits that make South
Africa's democracy seem so diluted. Its incredulous and thus far
trusting supporters condemn but only rarely punish deployees who do
not 'pass through the eye of the needle'. The ANC and the
Regeneration of Political Power unpacks these contradictions. It
focuses on four faces of the ANC's political power - the
organisation, the people, political parties and elections, and
policy and government - and explores how the ANC has acted since
1994 to continuously regenerate its power. By 2011-12 the power
configurations around the ANC were converging to a conjuncture
holding vexing uncertainties. This book presents insights into how
South African politics - in many ways synonymous with the politics
of the ANC - is likely to unfold in years and possibly decades to
come.
