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.
