Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Sibongile Mzinyate and President Cyril Ramaphosa allegedly knew about the matter since June last year.
E-mail evidence has revealed the National Prosecuting Authority and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation have known for nearly a year that a former State Security Agency operative had blown the whistle nearly a year ago on former minister David Mahlobo.
When contacted by The Citizen, Mokotedi initially said he didn’t remember the specifics of the matter and didn’t think there had been an investigation. Freedom Under Law executive officer Nicole Fritz – named by Whiskey as being surveilled – said it was deeply alarming State resources could be abused “in this manner”.
South African Communist Party spokesperson Alex Mashilo said criminal charges should be laid against those complicit in the abuse of state intelligence services.
