http://www.democracynow.org - Speaking from Johannesburg, leading anti-apartheid activist and former South African intelligence minister Ronnie Kasrils discusses the evolution of the African National Congress' economic views from its time as a liberation movement to leading South Africa after the fall of apartheid. Kasrils says the ANC was forced to make a "Faustian Pact" with neoliberalism in order to bring apartheid to an end and avoid civil war. He also discusses recent reports that Mandela was a member of the South African Communist Party. Kasrils was on the National Executive Committee of the ANC for 20 years, serving as minister for intelligence services from 2004 to 2008.
