Hani Killers to Spill Beans

From what I have heard Mbeki might be associated with the killing so it will be really interesting to hear their story

makes sort of historical ( albeit conspiratorial ) sense

Who conditioned Tsafendas to stab Verwoerd

Who ordered the shooting of JFK

Who orchestrated the assassination of Hani

nevermind about my previous post. I just got a link and according to the article it was a rumour started by some senior ANC folks.

ANC spokesperson Smuts Ngonyama told the South African Press Association (Sapa) that the ANC had not seen the documentary. The party was reacting to media reports about the film, he said.

Earlier in the day, the producers denied being the source of the suggestion of a link between Mbeki and Hani's murder.

Broad Daylight Films said the film merely reported that fact that there had been a formal investigation into an alleged plot against Mbeki in 2001.

"The alleged plotters, [senior ANC figures] Tokyo Sexwale, Mathews Phosa and Cyril Ramaphosa were said to have spread a rumour linking Mbeki to the Hani assassination."

The suggestion about a link did not come from Broad Daylight Films, the producers said.

"In fact, film maker Redi Direko appears in the film debunking the rumour, saying: 'I don't believe it'," said the producers.

They added: "Two other commentators in the film state that the whole thing was unbelievable and was merely a sign of paranoia."

Hani was next in line for the Presidency, certainly the most popular leader at the time, his assassins were caught very quickly after the incident, where were his bodyguards

You know thinking about it, Hani was a communist, would the CIA allow South Africa to be run by a Communist - prolly funded the operation

Oh really? Next in line after who, de Klerk (president at the time) or Mandela (president to be)? I think that Mbeki/the ANC had bigger things to worry about in 1993 than who was to be president after Mandela.
 
Hani would definitely been chosen as first deputy President, placig him firmly in stead to take over from Madiba

Yup, now we are getting to the money. The CIA were most supportive of the Nat's and Unita (Savimbi). Many a CIA man never made it back to the US of A.
This was in the face of the communist threat, involvement and support in Angola mainly.
Hani, a self confessed commie, as well as MK leader, in those days was always going to be enemy no.1.

Still remember watching the ordeal on telly with the crowds of prominent folks at his house after the assassination thinking that it was all orchestrated and an attempt to derail the peace process by outsiders.
 
The more I see of JZ, the more of a dope he appears to be.
Hardly El Presidente material.

I can't attest to him being El Presidente material or not but I just observed that fate seems hellbent against popular leaders...
