SPY WARS: Kasrils says he warned ANC about factions using spooks | SarahPeace6
Kasrils, who served as intelligence minister from early 2004 until September 2008, said the report confirmed his warnings at the time that factional battles in the ANC, specifically around former president Jacob Zuma, were crippling the intelligence services.
The report talks about how the"growing politicisation and factionalisation" of the intelligence services began with the emergence of divisions in the ANC"from about 2005". It also mentions a task team set up by the minister of intelligence in 2005 , to look into"intelligence legislation and other prescripts", the recommendations of which were"unevenly implemented".
Kasrils said it was important to analyse what the pro-Zuma forces were doing from about 2005 to understand what had happened.
