Ronnie Kasrils. A SIMPLE MAN - Kasrils and the Zuma Enigma

Ronnie Kasrilss insights into Jacob Zuma, both shocking and revelatory, are vividly illuminated through this storyfrom their shared history in the underground to Kasrilss time as minister of intelligence and his views on South Africa now. This fast-paced, thriller-style memoir outlines the tumultuous years that saw Mbekis overthrow and replacement by Zuma, Nkandlagate, the growing militarization of the police and the Marikana Massacre, the outrageous appointment of flunkies to high office, the "state capture" report and his relationship with the Guptas. We relive the Schabir Shaik corruption trial, Kasrilss relationship with Fezeka Kuzwayo (Khwezi), Zumas rape trial accuser, the email and spy tapes saga, conspiracy, and betrayal. While Kasrils explains the enigmatic contradictions of Jacob Zuma, he also explains that corruption and the abuse of power did not begin with him. His story points to the compromised negotiations of the 1990s, which he refers to as a "Faustian Pact." This is a story told from the inside, exploring the many machinations of power and how one mans struggle for the truth can have such an impact on the political outcomes of a nation.
