Abstract
This paper will utilise the Cronin interview to explore the key aspects of this debate. By examining recent developments it will ask: Is the ANC becoming more bureaucratised and less internally democratic? Is the ANC becoming increasingly dominant over its partners in the Alliance? And is the ANC's extending dominance of the political arena leading to the decline of political opposition?-
