From Mandela to Mbeki and Zuma: How the spooks became obsessed with 'political intelligence gathering' | SarahPeace6

Some years back, a senior spook travelled to the United States to visit the Central Intelligence Agency . There he found a group of experts from various fields in the office of the CIA director, discussing what trends were likely to change the world in the coming years.

The report decries the politicisation of the civilian intelligence agencies, which it says began around 2005 – the year Jacob Zuma was fired as deputy president of the country – and later charged with rape . It says that this politicisation intensified around 2009, when Zuma became state president. The apartheid regime was"taking out people" as early as the 1970s and was infiltrating the ANC from at least a decade earlier, he says.

Vavi, a former general secretary of Cosatu, was a strong supporter of Zuma and endorsed his campaign to succeed Mbeki. He is now a fierce critic of Zuma.
