EP.746: Ronnie Kasrils- South Africa STILL Under Neoliberal Stranglehold (South African Elections)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former South African Minister for Intelligence Services Ronnie Kasrils about the South African elections, challenges facing South Africa after apartheid, the role of the Communist Party and his perception that it had fallen in line behind President Jacob Zuma, the current state of the African National Congress (ANC) and how the South African anti-apartheid struggle compares to Palestine’s struggle. Next we speak to PRESSTV’s Roshan Salih, the Editor-in-Chief of 5PillarsUK about the escalating tensions between the US and Iran. He discusses the Persian-Gulf tanker incident, Trump reviewing war plans with Iran, Pakistan’s opposition to any war and Iran’s detention of a British councillor.
