ANC vs ANC

I know I'm stealing the title from this article in the Mail and Guardian, but it's hard to resist describing this weekend's confrontation between the ANC and the Kennedy Road shackdwellers in any other terms. ANC vs ANC captures it nicely. As does this quote from Mnikelo Ndabankulu of the Abahlali Base Mjondolo in the Foreman Road settlement: “The thing I want to clarify is that we are the ANC. We reject the current ANC nominee for our ward and we therefore have a policy of no vote for this election. We will vote in 2009 when we are happy with the nominee.”

The ANC vs theme is becoming popular! I presented a paper on 'ANC vs the new rooi gevaar' a couple of years ago (dropped the title in the final publication though). Now I'm waiting for the first installment of 'ANC vs Godzilla' - the movie! Cheers.

Is the paper online anywhere Stefan? Incidentally, I imagine we'll be able to buy the full box set, from the mighty fine "ANC vs Apartheid" to the derivative "ANC vs Megalon" some time around Xmas.

Some marginal editing will be done before publication this spring. Cheers.
