Parliament’s joint standing committee on intelligence is due to probe the alleged role of deputy state security minister Zizi Kodwa in the Phala Phala farm robbery. The committee will also investigate allegations that secret crime intelligence funds were used to covertly investigate the robbery that took place at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm in February 2020.This is contained in a letter from National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to JSCI chairperson Jerome Maake last Friday. The JSCI is constitutionally mandated to conduct oversight on the affairs and conduct of the country’s intelligence structures.
The allegation against Kodwa is that he knew about the robbery but kept it secret “rather than reporting it to appropriate authorities”. “It has also been alleged that Kodwa accompanied Maj-Gen Wally Rhoode, the head of the presidential protection unit during secret interactions between the South African and Namibian authorities,” Mapisa-Nqakula writes.
