Analysis: Former spy boss Arthur Fraser slams High Level Review Panel report into SSA as 'treasonous' By Marianne Thamm MarianneThamm

While the country’s desperately-needed tax revenue was being criminally rerouted – via Dubai, Hong Kong and the US – South Africa’s intelligence agencies were otherwise distracted by a deadly political battle raging inside the ruling party.into the State Security Agency, chaired by Sydney Mufumadi, and handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa in March this year.

Fraser, however, did not explain how Bosasa, the Guptas and various associates feeding at the trough of the country’s SOE’s , aided and abetted by the financial sector, managed to operate unseen by the country’s intelligence services for over a decade criminally hoovering up billions. Fraser currently serves as Commissioner of Correctional Services, a position he was moved to in April 2018, after a run-in with current Inspector General of IntelligenceIn his challenge to panel member’s understanding of their mandate, Fraser offered to “set out some of the unique features of intelligence in the free and modern world that I think the HLRP may have missed.

In 2010, before Zuma’s first Cabinet reshuffle in October, Gibson Njenje , Mo Shaik and Jeff Maqetuka , appointed in 2009, had warned of the family’s worrying influence over the president. Njenje also immediately initiated an investigation into Fraser’s PAN programme as well as the Covert Support Unit .

The panel, he said, had “a very condescending view of other human beings, particularly those in the employ of the SSA; it only views them as puppets of other people; without integrity, and as people that cannot become independent-minded and professional”.
