A FORMER apartheid-era spy and police ministry spokesman has joined South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) because he “was tired of living in a mental ghetto”. Craig Kotze, as an undercover police agent, worked as a crime reporter for the Johannesburg daily The Star from 1982 to 1990, then became spokesman for the law and order ministry. “I feel I have finally come home to the ANC. I think the democracy is safe in ANC hands,” Kotze said.
