As inquiries into Jacob Zuma’s presidency open doors for\u003cbr\u003eintelligence reform, Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration has, at important moments,\u003cbr\u003eoffered superficial fixes, entrenching state control.\u003cbr\u003eRogue Spying exposes this betrayal of public trust, tracing its roots to historical\u003cbr\u003econflicts and international drivers. With authoritarian nationalism on the rise globally,\u003cbr\u003epowerful nations fuel a lawless surveillance race, threatening democratic freedoms\u003cbr\u003eworldwide – South Africa included.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on exclusive interviews, declassified documents, and the author’s intrepid\u003cbr\u003eactivism, this account reveals how whistleblowers, journalists, and advocates have\u003cbr\u003efought for accountability through mass mobilisation, investigations and strategic\u003cbr\u003elitigation.\u003cbr\u003eRogue Spying is a clarion call. It offers learnings and explores strategies to demand\u003cbr\u003eaccountability and rein in intelligence, ensuring it serves the public, not power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wits University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45478979010736,"sku":"978-1-997461-09-8","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9181\/8160\/files\/RogueSpyingcoverHR.jpg?v=1784893286","url":"https:\/\/www.mzansibooks.co.za\/products\/rogue-spying","provider":"Mzansi Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
