26 January 17:19 Jafta reveals that SSA investigations into unlawful “special operations” – including alleged efforts to bribe judges – had been compromised by an investigator leaking information to those implicated in wrongdoing.
In response to questions from evidence leader Paul Pretorius about why these investigations have seemingly not gone anywhere, Jafta says it is “too onerous” for someone under whose watch R200 million of SSA cash was spent to explain what had happened.

JOHANNESBURG - Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has dismissed an application by State Security Minister Ayanda Dlodlo to adjourn and postpone the evidence of acting Director-General Loyiso Jafta.

State Security Agency s Acting DG, Loyiso Jafta has taken the stand at the State Capture Inquiry.
JOHANNESBURG – State Security Agency (SSA) money was used to fund factional political activity in the ANC, according to the agency s acting director-general, Loyiso Jafta.
Jafta has taken the stand at the state capture inquiry after State Security Minister Ayanda Dlodlo s attempts to stop him were dismissed. There are monies that left the agency for the purposes of funding political activity principally within the African National Congress, said Jafta. And often when you drill into it, it s not funding the African National Congress credibly, it is to fund activities of a particular faction within the African National Congress.

Durban - A letter sent to Loyiso Jafta, the acting director-general at the State Security Agency (SSA), requesting it to declassify some documents related to intelligence gatherings projects, has not only opened a can of worms, but it also contains sensational claims against several individuals.
Among the people mentioned in the letter are prominent journalists, media houses, companies and politicians.
