“There is one key area in which Zuma has made no attempt at reconciliation whatsoever: criminal justice and security. The ministers of justice, defence, intelligence (now called "state security" in a throwback to both apartheid and the ANC's old Stalinist past), police and communications are all die-hard Zuma loyalists. Whatever their line functions, they will also play the role they have played so ably to date: keeping Zuma out of court - and making sure the state serves Zuma as it once did Mbeki.” MadeHardStatesPlayPastDiesLinesJusticeRolesSecurityCommunicationKeysAreasFunctionPoliceCourtCriminalsMinistersReconciliationDefenceApartheidCriminal JusticeThrowbackLoyalistsZuma Author:Mark Gevisser
