Zuma and his cohorts trying all tricks in the book to keep Ramaphosa out

It has been proven beyond doubt that Jacob Zuma is a master tactician when it comes to spying. There are allegations that Zuma has an intelligence report that Cyril Ramaphosa is a spy for white monopoly and other western agencies.

It is also clear that Zuma does not want Ramaphosa to become president of the ANC and the country. It is now a known fact that Ramaphosa was not his choice in 2012 in Mangaung.

He was a compromise because Montlante contested the position of president. The Zuma faction approached Ramaphosa to deputise for Zuma as a compromise, hence Zuma and his faction do not want Ramaphosa to succeed him.

Zuma and his team of exiles are the ones blocking Ramaphosa.

This exile syndrome in the ANC is killing the movement as they believe there is no one else worthy to ascend to the highest office in the land. The socalled exiles never experienced the full brutality of the apartheid government and some of the so-called exiles went to exile after they committed criminal acts not related to politics.

In the 1990s, it is alleged that JZ commented that the appointment of Ramaphosa as secretary-general of the ANC was a grave mistake because the former trade unionist did not have adequate experience in the ANC leadership.
