Bo Mbindwane, former special adviser to minister Fikile Mbalula as police political head, championed an attempt to irregularly procure eavesdropping signal grabbers ahead of the Nasrec ANC conference in December 2017.

Inspector-general of intelligence Dr Setlhomamaru Dintwe at the state capture inquiry on Wednesday May 12 2021.Bo Mbindwane, former special adviser to minister Fikile Mbalula as police political head, championed an attempt to irregularly procure eavesdropping signal grabbers ahead of the Nasrec ANC conference in December 2017.

Mbindwane said these spies, whom he referred to as “backpackers”, were in need of grabbers costing R210m to intercept all electronic communication that would take place at the conference. “He told me they were in need of grabbers to the tune of R210m. However, because the date was too close they could settle for one grabber to the tune of R45m. He explained the capabilities and said do not be surprised that it is so expensive because an ordinary grabber costs around R7m.”

When Dintwe met with the crime intelligence person, he was presented with new information that Mbindwane had concealed, the company from which the purchase of the grabber was to be made.

Ah another tender

“He told me they were in need of grabbers to the tune of R210m. However, because the date was too close they could settle for one grabber to the tune of R45m'

SAns don't be easily manipulated..RET crooks made us all to concentrate on CR17 private donations whilst concealing NDZ presidential campaign use of tax payers money..PP Hawks & NPA should investigate this misuse of public funds..it is clear our tax money was used illegally

This is the problem when politicians appoint people to positions in government and SOE's. Cadre deployment is the rot of SA. ANC are the enemy of democracy and ordinary SAns.

But why use a picture of Dr Setlhomamaru Dintwe? You people (media) continue to be a depression in this country..

MbalulaFikile Why does a Minister needs an Adviser? What specifically is the purpose of a Minister's Adviser? And why doesn't the Minster rely on the Deputy Minister, the Director General and his DDG for advice?

He he he he
