I have just listened to an interview with Ronnie Kasrils on the radio
He talked about how he became aware of serious infiltration of the State Security Agency [SSA ] from 2004 onwards and how elements within SSA basically conspired to oust Mbeki and replace him with Zuma.
A report was drawn up just before Mbeki got ousted but that was shelved with Zuma’s takeover.
Kasrils described the ousting of Zuma as a putsch or coup.
This description of the SSA by Kasrils is completely in line with the Zuma influence in the SAPS Crime Intelligence from the early 2000’s.
Back then the SAPS Crime Intelligence was headed by Mulangi Mphego under whose watch a special operation called “Destroy Lucifer” was conducted to infiltrate and spy on the NPA.
This operation headed by Mpegho resulted in the obtaining of the so called “spy tapes” which was handed over to Arthur Fraser of the SSA.
The “spy tapes” were then leaked to the NPA and that resulted in the withdrawing of criminal charges against Jacob Zuma.
Fraser is a known Zuma ally who was shifted from the SSA to head up the Department of Correctional services by Ramaphosa.
Mulangi Mphego was appointed by David Mabuza to be his special advisor last year.
We know that Mphego is basically a political spy specialising in political intrigue and plots.
We know that Mabuza changed camps from the Zuma camp to the Ramaphosa camp just before the ANC elective conference in December 2017. This ensured the election of Ramaphosa as ANC President.
The forces that want to overturn Ramaphosa’s reform and uncapturing process – however limited it is with zero prosecutions so far – is still strong and has a lot to lose.
Major leaders within the Zuma camp face the prospect of prosecution and that includes Zuma himself.
We know that the ANC has a recall clause that can enable the dominant faction to recall a sitting President. It was done with Mbeki after all. The prospect of the state capture crowd revolting against Ramaphosa and ousting him is actually very good.
If that happens they will push David Mabuza forward as the frontman and being a hardline looter himself and very ambitious, he will be unable to say no to the opportunity to become President.
Malema would no doubt be pulled in at that time and a high position will be offered to him – most probably deputy President – to shore up Mabuza and give the ANC a two thirds majority. The EFF will then be folded back into the ANC.
Impossible ? I think not.
The Russians will definitely prefer Mabuza as President because he would be dancing to their tune.
The leader of the DA, Mmusi Maimane, has revealed in an open letter that Mabuza took a three week trip to Russia in 2015 aboard a Gupta aircraft, accompanied by Gupta employees, Jacob Zuma’s son, a Russian mining official and Rajesh Gupta himself.
Mabuza was also in Russia for 15 days in October and November last year to allegedly visit Russian hospitals.
The ousting of Ramaphosa is a very real possibility. South Africa is already broken with a culture of impunity. Just think how broken we will be with Mabuza as President and Malema as deputy President
