Politicisation and factionalisation of the intelligence community - Mufamadi

Former Chairperson of the High Level Review Panel into the State Security Agency, Sydney Mufamadi, has painted a disturbing picture of the State Security Agency over the last ten years. Testifying at the State Capture Commission, Mufamadi said that there had been politicisation and factionalisation of the intelligence community, fuelled by power struggles in the ANC. The Panel was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018 to investigate whether the SSA was conducting itself as a professional national service.
