Abstract:
The ANC is a party-movement that draws on its liberation credentials yet is conflicted by a multitude of weaknesses, factions and internal succession battles. Booysen constructs her analysis around the ANC?s four faces of political power ? organisation, people, political parties and elections, and policy and government ? and explores how, since 1994, it has acted to continuously regenerate its power
