Former State Security Agency director-general Arthur Fraser has lodged an application to the Pretoria High Court to have findings against him by the Zondo commission set aside.
The Zondo commission had recommended that Fraser be investigated for alleged illegal operations at the State Security Agency , including the millions of rands looted from the agency. Zondo also found that abuse of the vetting process saw Fraser revoking former intelligence inspector-general Setlhomamaru Dintwe’s clearance, only because he was investigating allegations against Fraser.But Fraser has accused the commission of failing to investigate allegations made against him by witnesses, and also denying him the opportunity to present his side of the story.
“It is common cause that the commission called several witnesses, many of whom implicated me in serious crimes. Yet, the commission used every available excuse or justification to deny me the opportunity to appear before it; either to answer to the allegations made against me or to present my own evidence before it.
“These findings are not borne out by facts and many of them are a consequence of the commission’s failure to properly investigate some of the allegations presented to it. Some of the findings are based on inaccurate facts, some of which were identified in the statement attached to my application to cross-examine, which was also dismissed by the commission.”“It is common cause that the Commission called several witnesses, many of whom implicated me in serious crimes.
