News24.com | Former spy boss Arthur Fraser opens perjury case following spy revelations at Zondo commission

Arthur Fraser

Jaco Marais, Gallo Images, Netwerk24

Former spy boss Arthur Fraser has opened perjury cases against several State Security Agency (SSA) officials – including acting director-general Loyiso Jafta, as well as Sydney Mufamadi, who chaired an inquiry into the intelligence agency – following the revelations laid bare at the state capture inquiry.

Fraser’s attorney, Rapulane Kgoroeadira, confirmed the opening of cases at the Hillbrow Police Station on Friday against Mufamadi, Jafta, secret SSA operatives known only as Ms K and Mr Y, the commission’s evidence leader advocate Paul Pretorius, SC, as well as a member of Pretorius’ team, advocate Veruschka September.

According to a statement, the cases relate to “falsehoods peddled during what our client considers the monumental compromise of the country’s intelligence by SSA officials, [that] have left him with no choice but to lay criminal charges against those that conspired to tell the nation blatant and deliberate falsehoods”.

READ | Spy boss claims SSA gave firearms, ammunition to ‘non-members’

The allegations were recorded by the commission last week, but Kgoroeadira could not immediately tell News24 what allegations were labelled falsehoods by Fraser. He added that all the information was contained in Fraser’s affidavit handed to police.

“Our client is mindful that the entire evidence was designed to pre-empt his request to assist the commission. Instead, the commission decided to call these officials and shut the door on him,” the statement from Kgoreadira Mudau Attorneys read.

Last week, the inquiry, chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, heard testimony relating to the state of the SSA. Revelations were placed on record about SSA officials using state resources for parallel intelligence structures and widespread looting.

Mufamadi revealed that R84 million in funding was allegedly given to former president Jacob Zuma in his last two years in office, while Fraser was at the helm as well as a project aimed at bribing judges to rule in Zuma’s favour in his legal battles.

News24 also reported that in his statement to the commission Mufamadi revealed that his panel was given a document that was allegedly a report to Fraser in February 2017, in which the author boasted about how a special operations unit interfered with ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa’s election campaign.

Ms K, an SSA operative, who confirmed the affidavit of Mr Y, claimed that Fraser brought back individuals implicated in the Principal Agent Network operation, who allegedly evolved into a parallel intelligence network which bypassed normal SSA procedures including recruitment.

This is a developing story.

News24.com | Cinderella Man: Could Bok recall cap Cornal Hendricks incredible comeback?

  • The Currie Cup win sealed Cornal Hendricks’ Cinderella story, but the winger-turned-centre has also made a case for an unthinkable Springbok return.
  • Hendricks last played for Boks in 2015, the year he was told he could never play rugby again because of a heart defect.
  • Hendricks was crowned Man-of-the-Match during the Bulls’ Currie Cup final win over the Sharks.

The Currie Cup win sealed Cornal Hendricks’ Cinderella story, but the winger-turned-centre has also made a case for an unthinkable Springbok return.

Hendricks last donned the green and gold in 2015 against the All Blacks, the same year he was told he could never play rugby again because of a heart defect.

It crushed the then-27-year-old, whose career was approaching an unbelievable peak, crowned by a move to the Stormers, where he never played a single game.

READ | The future might be a Bulls-Sharks duopoly

After three years out of elite rugby, Hendricks got a chance to play again, this time for the Bulls in 2019 aged 30, where he has flourished.

On Saturday, the fairy tale came to a whimsical, heart-warming climax when the Bulls beat the Sharks 26-19 at Loftus, and Hendricks was crowned Man-of-the-Match.

His coach Jake White said he wasn’t only the best player on the day but could well be their player of the season.

“He’s been phenomenal,” White said after the match.

“He’s probably been our best player. I played him there, spoke to (assistant coach) Chris Rossouw about him and he’s been phenomenal.

“A lot of guys that have played in the No 12 jersey before like Ma’a Nonu and Tana Umaga have always started on the wing.

“He’s got a great appreciation for space and understanding of what guys in the midfield need to do.

“You’ve obviously got a guy like Morne Steyn, who’s been around and Ivan van Zyl, who looks after him.

“And don’t underestimate the youngsters like David Kriel, Stravino Jacobs, Kurt-Lee Arendse … they are going to learn a lot from a guy like Cornal.

“I’m saying the obvious but he’s very professional, dedicated, and he’s a great communicator and works hard.”

The Springboks’ playing chances might be lingering in the air, especially with the coronavirus still wreaking havoc in the country and Britain, which has put the British and Irish Lions tour in jeopardy.

But a Hendricks recall, nearly six years after that last international appearance, wouldn’t be implausible after the outstanding performances in the Bulls midfield.

White, who is enamoured with Hendricks, especially after his seamless transition from the three-quarters to first centre, wouldn’t be drawn on Springbok speculation, however.

READ | Bulls beat Sharks to lift Currie Cup in extra-time thriller

“All I know is that he’s done well for the Bulls,” said White.

“He’s a Springbok, he’s been there, and he’s done it.

“He’s just sharing his knowledge with the guys and I’m really happy about that, especially because he can play wing and centre.

“That’s a great bonus for him going forward.

“[But] having coached the Springboks, I don’t think it’s fair for provincial coaches to talk about who they think should or shouldn’t play for South Africa.

“We’re world champions, we’ve got some great coaches and Rassie (Erasmus) and Jacques (Nienaber) know what they’re looking for.

“I’m sure, if they think he’s good enough and that he’ll add value, then they’ll pick him.”

  • President Cyril Ramaphosa will receive SA’s first consignment of Covid-19 vaccine doses on Monday afternoon.
  • The vaccine has been produced by the Serum Institute of India, under licence from AstraZeneca.
  • The one million doses are expected to be rolled out to healthcare workers.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will personally receive South Africa’s first consignment of Covid-19 vaccine doses when it arrives on Monday afternoon.

One million “Covishield” doses, produced under licence from AstraZeneca by the Serum Institute of India, are expected to arrive at OR Tambo International Airport near Johannesburg at around 15:00.

Ramaphosa will be joined at the airport by Deputy President David Mabuza and Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, along with other dignitaries.

“The arrival of the first consignment at OR Tambo International Airport marks the start of the vaccine rollout, which President Ramaphosa describes as the largest and most complex logistical vaccine undertaking in South Africa’s history,” Tyrone Seale, Ramaphosa’s acting spokesperson, said.

“The scale of delivery is unprecedented in terms of the number of people who have to be reached within a short space of time,” Seale said.

First phase

Also on site to receive the vaccine doses, will be Dr Morena Makhoana, chief executive officer of Biovac.

Biovac is a bio-pharmaceutical company formed in 2003 in a partnership between government and private investors to establish local vaccine manufacturing capability. It will play an important role in the quality assurance, warehousing and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.

The vaccine doses will first be stored and tested and then rolled out through Biovac and other distributors to recipients in the first phase of the country’s immunisation programme.

“The aim of the vaccination programme is to achieve immunity across the population. The first phase of this rollout programme will prioritise around 1.2 million frontline health workers,” Seale said.

Another 500 000 vaccine doses are expected to arrive later this month.
