Mahlobo and Fraser are on the radar for investigation – Ramaphosa
Mahlobo was the minister of state security during former president Jacob Zuma’s term. The commission’s evidence leader, Advocate Paul Pretorius, had asked Ramaphosa whether he had considered allegations against Mahlobo, some of which he had denied during his appearance at the commission, before he had appointed him to the Cabinet in 2019.
This dates back to over a decade ago, relating to the establishment of a network of agents outside the agency, which led to irregular appointments and procurement processes.Ramaphosa also revealed that an intensive investigation was under way at SSA to probe allegations relating to unrecovered arms, which were issued for a unit that was set up to protect Zuma. He said those who had been purged from SSA because of their stance against corruption would be reinstated.
According to Mufamadi’s report, Ramaphosa said that, in the past, the agency had served “factional” interests, including those within the ANC.He said there were a lot of good people within the agency. Ramaphosa said putting the SSA under presidential control was happening in many countries with divisional heads reporting to the president. He said they were hoping for and committed to the realignment and professionalisation of the agency.
