The beef between former spy boss Arthur Fraser and inspector-general of intelligence (IGI) Isaac Dintwe has reached a new playing field.

The other five “critical posts” were IT specialist, and four oversight principal officers each for crime intelligence, defence intelligence, domestic branch and foreign branch who would make up the executive committee together with the IGI.

“So in November 2017 I wrote a letter to the DG [Fraser] after speaking to the minister [David] Mahlobo who said in principle 'I do not have a problem, give us the list of the positions you want to be filled'," said Dintwe. “This process is under way and in its final stages. Once the final structure has been approved it will inform the recruitment strategy as to what the priorities are in terms of filling of vacant posts.”

“What does that have to do with you,” said a chuckling Zondo to which Dintwe responded with an emphatic “nothing, chairperson”.
