Kill Zuma By Any Means Necessary

by Gayton McKenzie

Everyone with power knows you need to watch your back. ‘They’ are always coming for you.

This goes doubly for Jacob Zuma. For decades, he has woken up every day knowing ‘Today could be the day they finally get me’. And every night he’s gone to bed realising he has frustrated his many enemies a little longer.

He is not called the ultimate survivor for nothing.

This book tells the hitherto little-known stories of the many attempts to ‘Kill Zuma … By Any Means Necessary’, whether that was through brazen efforts to snuff out his life or the more subtle but far more persistent efforts to destroy his name and reputation.

From a wife who tried to poison him to once-trusted comrades and their many betrayals, South Africa’s fourth democratic president has suffered all the slings and arrows, but has managed to oppose them every time.

It also looks at why Jacob Zuma – a man many know as the great Keeper of the ANC’s Secrets – has for so long been such a big target, long before democracy and any thought that he might ever be president.

Ultimately it is the story of the struggle itself, and how the dream was betrayed.

[Geoffrey Abrams · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is an easy read and well structured. However, the author is much opinionated in vilifying Cyril. I would have preferred that he supported his opinions with references to balance his claims. The last Chapter ends abruptly and it was the chapter I felt he could have explored a little further.

I couldn't put the book down

Gayton Mackezie doesn't pull any punches about the condition of our nation's economy state.

He opens everything up slowly like opening layers of a big onion.

1.The events leading to Codesa that couldn't benefit our black society. (Past)

2.The Current Economic climate that still affects us in South Africa(Present)

3. The desire to unite as a black nation to unravel what happened so we may work on empowering ourselves (Future)

Exceptional book that should actually be at the forefront of our political discussions😀👍great work!

So this book is not meant to be about whether Zuma is a blameless soul and
whether all the decisions he has taken as a president and all his actions as the
president are above reproach. I doubt they could be.

However it may shed some light and provide some context on several of the Zuma years for those who may be interested
