Former state security minister Ayanda Dlodlo has painted a bleak picture of how the dire situation faced by many South Africans is a threat to national security.
Testifying at the SA Human Rights Commission hearings on the July 2021 riots, former state security minister Ayanda Dlodlo described a fit-for-purpose State Security Agency. She said anyone who had expected her to share intelligence reports was ‘dreaming in colour’.
Former state security minister Ayanda Dlodlo on Tuesday refuted claims that her office provided no intelligence before and during the July 2021 unrest and looting in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
Dlodlo said information was given to the relevant structures that were tasked with passing on information to ministers, and it had not been her fault that those structures had failed in their duties.
