No One Puts Ronnie In A Corner

Tired of being SA government’s resident whipping boy Minister of Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils has come out guns blazing against supporters of Jacob Zuma who have accused him of being part of some conspiracy to jail our former deputy president. Particularly stinging is this quote where Kasrils asks why Zuma couldn’t just keep it in his pants

He could easily have saved her, and all of us, from this nightmare by exercising a little self-control…

Eina! Kasrils also challenged his young (former?) comrades in the YCL/ANCYL to either put up some evidence about a grand conspiracy or shut up. Kasrils will also be asking the SACP to censure the YCL at this weekends SACP central planning committee over their accusations against Kasrils. Kasrils must surely be wondering why the YCL is backing an ANC politician over a long time SACP stalwart like himself?

Kasrils does try his best to say that he is neither pro- or anti-Zuma

...I was not in the pro- or anti-Zuma camp. I am a government minister serving my president and the country…

but does have a few choice words about he personally thinks of Zuma

...it is my view that he has let himself and all of us down, and only has himself to blame…
