Former State Security Agency head, Arthur Fraser, has informed the Zondo Commission that he will be forced to reveal ‘state secrets’ about presidents – past and present – as well as judges and parliamentarians in his evidence.

While he would have preferred to “die with his secrets”, Arthur Fraser’s legal representative, Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane told Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo that the former State Security Agency head was being forced into the open as he had been accused of “treason”.Sikhakhane represented Fraser as well as former National Intelligence Agency Director General, Manala Manzini at the Zondo Commission hearings on Monday, 20 July 2020.

Njenje testified about being tasked in 2009 by then Minister of State Security, Siyabonga Cwele, with investigating corruption in the SSA, where Fraser was the DG. Fraser would come to the Zondo Commission to “complete your picture of this thing called State Capture”, Sikhakhane promised.
