Ronnie Kasrils condemns the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh by Radio Islam

Al Jazeera banned in Israel. The government's move condemned by the network as a criminal act against international and humanitarian law. Al Jazeera has shown the realities of what's happening in Gaza. But what's behind this ban? And how effective will it be? In this episode: Ronnie Kasrils, A Leading Anti-apartheid Activist.  Maria Ressa, Co-Founder, Rappler.  Jonathan Dagher, Head, Middle East Desk, Reporters Without Borders.

On this Moats, George Galloway reflects on the images of a disoriented little girl in Gaza as she stumbles through the smoke and rubble in a stained and dishevelled party dress looking for her parents or sanctuary. How can the world look away from such an image? In the Hague, South Africa buries Israel under the accusations of genocide as Israel continues to argue its right to self defence under international law. Jewish former South African ANC commander, Ronnie Kasrils, talks his pride in his country at the Hague, a South Africa that is willing to fight for the freedoms of suppressed people and how Jews have historically opposed racism and apartheid. Palestinian-American Lawyer, Lara Elborno, says her people feel seen as South Africa refers to the Nakba and genocidal intent against the Palestinian people in the Hague and why this case may have massive ramifications across the world for suppressed people. Niko House returns to Moats to discuss the landslide victory for Donald Trump in the first contest for the Republican race for a presidential nominee and why he needs to pick his running mate carefully.Ronnie Kasrils: Former Minister of Intelligence Services of South AfricaLara Elborno: Palestinian-American International Lawyer, Activist and Co-Host of The Palestine Pod - X: https://twitter.com/thegazangirl- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gazangirl- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePalestinePodNiko House: Political Commentator and Founder of MCSC Network- X: https://twitter.com/realnikohouse- Instagram: https://instagram.com/realnikohouse- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikoforthepeople- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Forthepeoplepodcast305 Get bonus content on Patreon Become a MOATS Graduate at https://plus.acast.com/s/moatswithgorgegalloway.

Issue 23: November 2023 In this section we bring you two fantastic original pieces. The first piece comes from Asian Provocation, where producer and host Ayoto speaks to Professor Lara Sheehi and Professor Stephen Sheehi, authors of the book Psychoanalysis Under Occupation. Together they reflect on settler colonialism and violence, and the discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience" around those affected. The second piece comes from the team behind The Palestine Podcast, a series from the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign that showcases lectures, talks and interviews featuring leading experts and social justice activists active on the Palestine-Israel issue. In this segment, you will hear from Ronnie Kasrils from the series' 40th episode on ‘Israeli Apartheid: Lessons from Jewish and South African Struggles.' The conversation revolves around the effects of boycotting on changing public opinion and pressuring governments to stop policies of suppression. This piece was shared with permission from the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Diensten en Onderzoek Centrum Palestina (DocP), BDS Netherlands, The Rights Forum and Palestine Link. Our theme music is from Lucas Carey, with audio from Epidemic Sound. Cover art by Sian Amber Fletcher. This episode is brought to you by Bear Radio.

African National Congress (ANC) first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane says the party will not lobby the government to pardon former president Jacob Zuma. This followed a recent Constitutional Court decision that could see the former president return to jail. The apex court dismissed an appeal of a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that Zuma's release on parole was unlawful. It is now up to correctional services commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale to decide if Zuma must return to jail. The former president is currently in Russia seeking medical treatment. Asked whether the ANC would call for the pardoning of the former president, Mokonyane said: "That would be called interference. "The most important thing is that we think there has to be objectivity in handling this matter, and the relevant authorities have that task of reflecting on it and ensuring that it is handled in a manner that will not create unnecessary perceptions going forward." Zuma was jailed in 2021 and was expected to serve a 15-month sentence for defying a subpoena to give evidence at the Zondo Commission. Former correctional services commissioner Arthur Fraser released the former president on medical parole in a decision that has been ruled unlawful. While the ANC will not lobby for a pardon for Zuma, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has indicated it would ask President Cyril Ramaphosa to pardon him should he be sent back to jail. "If they say he must go to [jail], I will go to him and argue my case with him that the guy is sick. "The guy is old; his struggle credentials, his service to the public office and the fact that he served time in prison and the fact that parole on its own does not mean you are free; you continue to serve even from outside. "It is enough for you to give him a presidential pardon to avoid the possibility of instability which was experienced in KZN," EFF leader Julius Malema said on Friday. On coalition governments following next year's general elections, Mokonyane neither rejected the Democratic Alliance nor EFF as potential partners should no party receive outright majorities in provincial legislatures or the National Assembly. She said the ANC's national executive committee (NEC) had decided to establish regulations that would govern how to work in coalitions in the future and those regulations must clearly state the minimum programmes. "We will work with everyone and anyone who agrees with us on those minimum programmes. So, the NEC [has] yet to deliberate and do an assessment of the current coalitions. Gauteng [has] yet to give us a report as well," she added. Meanwhile, former intelligence minister Ronnie Kasrils warned Ramaphosa he should not allow South Africa to be a "pawn" to imperialist nations. Kasrils said Western nations were warmongers, referring to Russia's war with Ukraine, calling Ukraine NATO's "proxy". "If we don't stand foursquare together, those imperialists - comrade president [Ramaphosa], you will know it more than us - will want to browbeat us into being their pawns," he added.

Three BooksI thought it would be a good idea to dedicate an occasional column to books. We can return to Brexit, the Protocol and other such matters at another time.  So in this column I am reviewing three books. United Nation by Frank Connolly. On The Blanket by Eoghan Mac Cormaic and International Brigade against Apartheid: Secrets of the People's War that Liberated South Africa' By Ronnie Kasrils.International Brigade against Apartheid: Secrets of the People's War that Liberated South Africa' Ronnie Kasrils.I have known Ronnie Kasrils for many years. He is a friend of Ireland and a champion of those struggling around the world for freedom and justice. In 1961 he was a founding member, along with Nelson Mandela and others, of Umkhonto we Siswe – MK for short – the armed wing of the African National Congress. In the post apartheid South Africa he was the Minister for Intelligence and Minister for Water.On the Blanket by Eoghan MacCormaicEoghan Mac Cormaic is one of our most willing cheerful modest and clever writers. He is part of that growing band of republicans, particularly former political prisoners, who have produced an account of their experiences. This new book by Eoghan is based on his Pluid-Scéal na mBlocanna H 1976-81. Published by Coiscéim in 2021 it tells the story of Eoghan's life On the Blanket, mostly in H Block 5. In this English language version he takes us through the A to Z of Prison Resistance

“The news that longlisted 2020 Booker Prize nominee and Zimbabwean author, Tsitsi Dangarembga, was arrested in Harare last week during an anti-government protest, has set the literary world aflutter. She was released and will return to court in September. Her new book, ‘This Mournable Body’( Jacana) follows on her famous debut, ‘ Nervous Conditions,’ which garnered international acclaim. “I wonder if the Zimbabwean government realizes what a hornet’s nest it will unleash if it jails her – especially if she’s shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Watch this space. “ I reviewed, ‘Remembering Great Apes’( Wildlife Photographers United), the third huge, glossy book in the highly acclaimed charity series which aims to raise awareness of the plight facing a species and, through book sales, create funds to protect it. An aptly timed publication considering Rafiki, an endangered silverback gorilla, was murdered by poachers a few weeks ago in Uganda for bushmeat. “ ‘ 100 Books that changed the World’(Batsford) is a glossy, intriguing compendium by Scott Christianson and Colin Salter. Books they include range from the ‘Kama Sutra’, to ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ and Maya Angelou’s, ‘ I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.’ ‘ I also chatted about controversial British political scientist and South African journalist, RW Johnson’s entertaining and often humorous memoir, ‘Foreign Native’( Jonathan Ball). It tracks his life from the time he arrived in Durban, as a boy with his parents in 1957, to the present day. ‘ We learn much about SA and world politics. Some of his guest appearances include Tom Sharpe, Ronnie Kasrils, Frederik van Zyl Slabbert and Helen Suzman.” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/millertimemedia/support

CliffCentral.com — Not many people have a life story quite like this... at the age of 21 he gives up a life of privilege for one of danger and sacrifice, including 27 years living in exile while working for the ANC. He was also one of the founding members of Umkhonto we Sizwe in Natal in 1961. Ronnie Kasrils is a former SA government minister, and was a leading member of the African National Congress during the apartheid era. In his post-activism life, he’s written another book - 'Catching Tadpoles: The Shaping of a Young Rebel'. Gareth Cliff chats to him about the pages of his latest read that are bursting with anecdotal stories that are not only enjoyable to read and connect together like a racy novel, but can teach old and young, black and white much about inclusiveness and bringing hope for all South Africans.

This is a repeat of an episode published in early 2018. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I was left without my planned guest for this week. Ronnie is a founder member of the ANC's armed wing Umkhonto we sizwe and a former government minister. Ronnie had an article published in the Daily Maverick online magazine on May 14 entitled "A curate's egg of an election" where he looks at some of the trends in the recent South African election around low voter turnout, low voter registration and the feeling of apathy that seems to have descended on the South African electorate. Read the article [here](https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2019-05-14-a-curates-egg-of-an-election/). I thought it would be interesting to place this election in the context of the liberation struggle and get a sense from Ronnie of some of the challenges facing the ANC.

The third episode of the recently launched podcast, Voices from SA, is an interview with Ronnie Kasrils, a founding member of the armed wing of the ANC, uMhkonto we Sizwe(MK). The interview took place on the eve of the ANC National Executive Committee meeting that took the decision to recall President Zuma. The wide-ranging interview, part history and part manifesto covers the challenges of launching the armed struggle, resurrecting the struggle against apartheid during the late 1970’s, the failures of the negotiated transition and the potential “second chance” offered by the recent appointment of President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In the late 1960’s a man named Ronnie Kasrils recruited a number of young people from the UK to travel to conduct covert missions in Apartheid South Africa. Posing as tourists, they smuggled in banned literature and pamphlets, distributing them in public places to deliver the message that the African National Congress was alive and […]

Former cabinet minister Ronnie Kasrils has rubbished police claims at the Ahmed Timol inquiry in Pretoria that the then banned ANC and SACP encouraged members to commit suicide if they were captured and tortured by apartheid police. Kasrils also dismissed as a fake the INKULULEKO -FREEDOM document produced by apartheid security police as evidence that liberation movements encouraged members to commit suicide if cornered. A Johannesburg businessman who saw a body falling from the notorious John Vorster Square Muhammad Ali Thokan's evidence also contradicted the police version. Neo Makwiting reports.

Die land se jeug moet nie hul ideale van 16 Junie 1976 vergeet nie al lyk dit asof die Zuma-administrasie ver daarvan af weg beweeg het. Dít is die strekking van 'n onderhoud wat Anita Visser onlangs met die oud-minister, kommunis en struggle veteraan, Ronnie Kasrils, gevoer het.

The Deputy Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Kebby Maphatsoe, has unreservedly apologized to the former Intelligence Minister, Ronnie Kasrils, for calling him a "traitor", "counter revolutionary" and an "enemy of the people". He has also retracted statements he made alleging that Kasrils was behind a conspiracy to discredit President Jacob Zuma by fabricating the rape case against him. This came after Maphatsoe and the MK Military Veterans Association settled a libel suit Kasrils brought against them, by agreement, in the Pretoria High Court. Liela Magnus reports .....

Former Intelligence minister Ronnie Kasrils will donate the money he won in his defamation case against the deputy defence minister to the woman who had accused President Jacob Zuma of rape in 2005. The high court in Pretoria has ordered Kebby Maphatsoe to pay Kasrils half a million rand after he labelled him as a traitor and accused him of trumping up the rape charge. Maphatsoe has been ordered to apologise unconditionally to Kasrils and all women. Kasrils says he will give the money to Khwezi for her studies and to rebuild her mother's house in KwaZulu/Natal.

Deputy President, Cyril Ramaphosa has described the Bhisho Massacre as one of the saddest moments in his life where he witnessed 28 people die and 200 more injured on this day 23 years ago. Ramaphosa has been addressing dozens at the Bhisho stadium where the 23rd commemoration was held. He was among leaders of the ANC such as Chris Hani, Steve Tshwete and Ronnie Kasrils who led the march. They wanted the military leader Oupa Joshua Gqozo to step down, but they were gunned near the Bhisho Stadium. Yanga Funani and Camagwini Mavovana filed us this report

Former Intelligence Minister and Member of United Front's National Working Committee, Ronnie Kasrils, says people who are trying to do good work, such as SA Revenue Services' deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay, are running into difficulties. Kasrils said he knew Pillay very well and believed he was "absolutely so clearly incorruptible"

Die voormalige ANC-swaargewig, Ronnie Kasrils, is die naweek verkies tot die beplanningskomitee vir die United Front. Die aktivis Zachie Achmat en ander voormalige ANC-lede is ook deel van die komitee. Volgens Kasrils het 'n nuwe politieke rolspeler dringend noodsaaklik geword.

Former Intelligence minister Ronnie Kasrils has warned that he will not hesitate to sue for being named in the a mysterious document of being part of a group which wanted to topple the current government.

In 1961 the African National Congress decided to take up arms against Apartheid. The organisation's military wing was called Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation. Ronnie Kasrils was a young anti-Apartheid activist who planted one of the first bombs aimed at sabotaging the South African government's infrastructure. (Image: Ronnie Kasrils in 1961.

The armed wing of the ANC party took its first violent action in 1961, when a bomb was planted at municipal offices in Durban. Ronnie Kasrils explained what happened that day. (Image: Ronnie Kasrils in 1961. Credit: Ronnie Kasrils)

By 1966, the Apartheid regime in South Africa had all but annihilated the African National Congress (ANC), imprisoning its leaders or driving them into exile. To help keep their message of struggle alive and maintain a strategy of resistance from within, young men and women in London smuggled ANC literature into South Africa in the 1960s and 1970s. Sworn to secrecy, their work remained silent for forty years but in this unique event the London recruits tell their story and discuss the role of international solidarity and collaboration in today's world. Speakers included Ronnie Kasrils (founding member of Umkhonto we Sizwe and former Minister of Intelligence Services) and recruits Mary Chamberlain, Katherine Levine, Tom Bell and Ken Keable (also editor of London Recruits: The Secret War Against Apartheid). The event will be chaired by Professor Barbara Taylor (Queen Mary, University of London and Director, Raphael Samuel History Centre). In partnership with the Raphael Samuel History Centre.
