The former head of the country’s correctional services and former chief of spies, Arthur Fraser, has officially raised his objection to the nomination of deputy chief justice, Raymond Zondo, as one of the people who should be considered for the vacant position of Chief Justice.

Fraser’s name featured prominently during the sitting of the commission as having abused secret service funds and in the letter of objection, he cries foul, saying he was never given a chance to state his side of the story.

“Together with Mr Paul Pretorius SC , he deliberately permitted no less than 10 witnesses to present falsehoods about me without affording me even one opportunity to state my version before the Commission or to defend myself against any of the allegations made against me. “Due to my privileged position as a former head of Intelligence, I also have knowledge of person who were carefully selected to execute same. It is this information that Deputy Chief Justice Zondo vehemently opposed to prevent me from exposing. It also sought to conceal and protect the role of old apartheid security intelligence networks in capturing the post-apartheid state.
