Abstract

The future of The Congress of the People (Cope) looks bleak, as bitter leadership clashes have dented its moralist orientation, big business is reluctant to been seen supporting opponents of the ANC, and black professionals and the middle classes have been alienated by the party's stand against affirmative action, writes MCEBISI NDLETYANA.
