Other political allies of former president Jacob Zuma were also given SAA security protection, the commission into state capture heard on Monday.

These spooks, who received training in a foreign country, he said, were also providing protection for Zuma himself. And as they did so, they were often double-dipping in what was the job of the police's presidential protection unit.

“The first thing wrong that was done by this special ops unit was to organise training for agents in VIP protection. The budget of the SSA ought not to provide for that function,” said Mufamadi.“It is double-dipping. Whatever these undercover agents do may be a duplication of what the police are doing. They were trained in a foreign country. You cannot have a function as serious as this one being a free for all.

“We were told by people who came from the SAPS that they received reports to the effect that you would have instances where the president of the republic was travelling domestically and abroad and SAPS people who were going as the advanced party would collide with people who said they were from the special operations.

“You would also have people who did not fall within the defined category of people deserving of VIP protection who were provided with these protection services.”
