Zuma pushing SA to crisis point - FW de Klerk
2 February 2017
Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma is determined to accelerate South Africa's descent to an economic and racial crisis, FW de Klerk, the country's last apartheid head of state, said on Thursday.
“President Zuma is determined to accelerate our descent along the road to state capture, economic crisis and racial confrontation,” De Klerk said at a conference by his foundation to mark 27 years since he announced the unbanning of the African National Congress and the release of his democratically-elected successor Nelson Mandela.
This could be seen in the Hawks, crime intelligence, and the police being used to attack opponents and protect allies, he continued.
His speech was about the crossroads the country had faced since negotiations toward a democratic SA. The ANC’s historic Polokwane elective conference in 2007 marked the beginning of the decline, he said.
