Parallel private protection force for the personal use of former President Jacob Zuma - State Capture

Ms K, an unidentified witness testifying at the State Capture Commission in Johannesburg, has spoken about how the State Security Agency (SSA) established a parallel private protection force for the personal use of former President Jacob Zuma, soon after he took office in 2009. Ms K, is an employee of the SSA and replaced Mr Y who was scheduled to testify on the stand but could not do so due to ill health. The Commission's evidence team instead used Mr Y affidavit to question Ms K. The two are involved in investigations relating to the improvement of the governance systems of the Agency through a programme called Operation VEZA.
