THE main opposition Democratic Congress has alleged that the National Security Service is threatening its upcoming youth league elective indaba.
The youth league works hand in glove with the national executive committee and the party's women's league.this week that NSS officers had been to different DC constituency offices, quizzing party officials there about the composition of youth delegates to be deployed by their constituencies to the conference.
All Ms Gugushe could say was that she was not in a conducive space to take a call. She had promised to return this journalist's call but did not do so.This is the same behaviour exhibited by acting NSS Director-General, Lebohang Mafisa, who had initially promised this publication an exclusive interview to respond to questions about the paralysis in the NSS, rendering it ineffective to help fight rampant crime. We are still waiting for the promised interview which has not materialised.
"According to the MPs, the constituency officials were seeking advice on dealing with NSS members fishing for information."The NSS, he noted, was mandated to ensure security of the state and"providing tipoffs to the office of the Prime Minister instead of spying on the main opposition...." "Now, the government agencies are trying to go against our youths fulfilling their party's constitutional requirements. Why would they be trying to find the names of those who will be going to the conference? We wonder what interest NSS has on this issue."
To get to the bottom of the issue, Mr Cheba said they had tried to contact some of the NSS operatives involved.
