Secret witness Ms K told the commission that a former intelligence minister received millions of rand in cash from the SSA that were to be delivered to ex-president Jacob Zuma.

Johannesburg - The Commission of Inquiry into State Capture on Thursday heard how former intelligence minister David Mahlobo received millions of rand in cash from the State Security Agency that were to be delivered to ex-president Jacob Zuma.

Mahlobo, who also held energy portfolio in Zuma’s Cabinet and is a member of the ANC’s national executive committee, is said to have continuously approved the utilisation of retained earnings to fund operations, despite advice that the retained earnings should be saved and utilised for infrastructure development to develop the SSA’s intelligence capabilities.

According to Ms K, the project was set up to provide counter-intelligence support that would enable stepping up state authority and its organs of governance against hostile behaviour or radical intent aimed at undermining the rule of law and governance in general. She said there were attempts to grill Mahlobo about the matter when he was an ordinary MP after Zuma was ousted in February 2018 through engagements with another former state security minister, Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba.

Asked by evidence leader Paul Pretorius whether the money reached Zuma, Ms K said “Project Veza” did not have that capacity to investigate fully.

Scary sh! this😳

TheStar_news The era of JG Zuma it means was an era of looting where as millions are living in a squalor. His party would say the comrade was fighting for liberation he is supposed to have a access to the money.

Yet Ramaphosa still appointed him to his cabinet.

Mahlobo immediate arrest

Why is the witness secret all of a sudden?

ehlers_anthony Why is this minister still in the cabinet. What is he holding on everyone that he is not taken to task for all the wrong doing in government.

ehlers_anthony What kind of the ruling party that took its party members and the country to be investigated by commissions and courts? Can Boris Johnson and Joe Biden put their parties and their party members to be accused number one? Who are we pleasing?

Imagine coming to the Commission and just talking without showing any evidence

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I am completely in shock, I was masturbating when my 9 year old son came in and asked 'is it true that Jacob Zuma stole money and is he gay?' and I had to tell him the truth, so I said yes. It was one of the most real moments of my life.

Where is the fucken proof & evidence?
