Analysis: Mkhwebane plays a hidden hand in new Gordhan SARS 'rogue unit' probe By Marianne Thamm MarianneThamm
A funny thing happened to a subpoena from the Public Protector’s office en route to former SARS Commissioner, Oupa Magashula, for him to answer questions with regard to a complaint lodged against Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan. While the EFF have publicly revealed that the party is behind the complaint, Busisiswe Mkhwebane chose to hide this, noting the complainant as “anonymous”.
This document is a 2014 investigation, by the then Inspector General of Intelligence, Faith Radebe, into misconduct by State Security operatives embedded in SARS and commissioned by then minister of state security, David Mahlobo who, unsurprisingly, features prominently in the recently-released but redacted High-Level Report into State Security.
This is the same report that found its way leaked to Mhkwebane and for which she is being investigated by the Hawks. And then, this bombshell revelation: “Among their members are Walter, former full-time SSA agents, police officers, military intelligence agents and former members of the Civil Cooperation Bureau, the defence force’s death squad during apartheid.”

The Real Rogue Unit : Jacob Zuma and his State [Capture] Security Agency’s nine wasted years of impunityThe high-level review panel report on the State Security Agency’s (SSA) illicit activities during the Zuma years is awash with examples of politically-motivated operations, corruption and the spy agency’s general disregard for the rule of law. The report could serve as a useful manual to help rescue the SSA from the swamp of abuse and malfeasance it had been dragged into by Zuma and Co. But this document should by no means be the final say on this grave matter, and President Cyril Ramaphosa’s inevitable battle with the spooks is bound to get nasty.
