JOHANNESBURG - The DA has formally written to State Security Minister Ayanda Dlodlo, requesting her to shutdown the State Security Agency (SSA).
This comes after a damaging week at the State Capture Inquiry, where commission chair Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo heard from several witnesses, including Sydney Mufamadi who was the chairperson of the high level review panel on the SSA.
Mafumadi detailed how the spy agency misused billions of taxpayer funds by allegedly bankrolling former president Jacob Zuma and also recruited members of the judiciary to secure favourable court outcomes for the former president.
When the State Security Agency played its dirty tricks, where was Parliament?

Share This: The current SSA is rife with the nameless, faceless officials who were doing the looting, says DA MP Dianne Kohler-Barnard.
On Tuesday, the State Security Agencyâs (SSA) Director-General, Loyiso Jafta, claimed to have circumstantial evidence that some judges, or a judge, were bribed to influence the outcome of court cases against former President Jacob Zuma.
Jafta told the State Capture Commission that for years there was no oversight by Parliament or any other statutory body over the SSA.
Sydney Mufamadi testified that Project Justice was aimed at influencing judges to rule in Zumaâs favour.
