South Africa: The DA Did Not Receive Classified Information From the Inspector-General of Intelligence

press release

The Democratic Alliance rejects allegations that it received classified information from the Inspector-General of Intelligence (IGI), Dr Setlhomamaru Dintwe. The DA has at all times acted lawfully when providing information to Dr Dintwe as part of its complaints against Arthur Fraser, the Director-General of the State Security Agency (SSA).

It is public knowledge that on 18 May 2017 the DA lodged a formal complaint with the Office of the Inspector-General of Intelliegence in terms of section 7(cA) of the Intelligence Services Oversight Act (40 of 1994). In this complaint, the DA requested an investigation into Fraser's involvement with the Principle Agent Network (PAN) programme which he, as the former Deputy Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, initiated and oversaw from 2007 to 2009.
