Mahlobo pours cold water over report claiming SSA was looted, used in ANC factional fights
Johannesburg - Former state security minister David Mahlobo has shrugged off calls for action to be taken against him in the wake of a report which found that the State Security Agency was looted and used in ANC factional fights.
The report was redacted for public consumption in view of the fact that the full report contained the names and identities of persons who could not be named at this point, as well as details of operational matters that would compromise the work of the SSA, the Presidency said. Mahlobo said he had not seen the DA statement so he would not comment on it. He also told Independent Media the report did not implicate him. “That report does not make references to any name. It makes general observations, but certain people in the media have tried to deduce names and inferences,” Mahlobo said.
