Jacob Zuma’s ‘spooks’ tried to block Cyril Ramaphosa’s path to the presidency

Spies loyal to Jacob Zuma ran an illegal and co-ordinated intelligence campaign and spent millions on dirty tricks in a failed bid to stop Cyril Ramaphosa becoming president of the ANC, a shock new report on the State Security Agency (SSA) has revealed.

The report exposes illegal activities in the service of Zuma, including:

• Physically stopping CR17 supporters from distributing regalia;
• Spying on civil society organisations that were critical of Zuma; and
• Fake news in the form of a media campaign for the 2016 local government polls.

The report confirms in stark detail an illegal and comprehensive intelligence-run attempt to prop up Zuma.
