Precarious Power is the third delivery in Booysen’s sequential, incisive trilogy that traces and dissects the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa as it moves from times of glory and celebrated liberation struggle, to mutually destructive, transient alliances of factions and interests that flourish in government power and fumble through governance. Yet the ANC remains dominant in most respects barring moral authority and complete public trust. The analysis shows how the ANC manages to remain at the centre of political power despite the fault lines and failures.
