Nedbank part of plot to discredit me, says Fraser
Johannesburg - Former State Security Agency director-general Arthur Fraser has accused Nedbank of targeting him and his family. This comes after the bank served Fraser with a notice last week that it intended to close his accounts on May 22 for alleged reputational risk.
It is understood that Fraser, who was redeployed as the country’s prisons boss by President Cyril Ramaphosa last year, is facing accusations of corruption related to the alleged looting of the SSA slush fund when he was the country’s spy boss. "This comes after my lawyers have just given notice to Jacques Pauw’s attorneys, advising that I would be filing a defamation against him for the false and defamatory statements contained in his recent book, The President's Keepers, about me and my family.”
Fraser said: "I am fully aware of unlawful and unethical parallel clandestine operations to discredit and remove me from the public sector. I hope Nedbank will not allow itself to be part of such illegality.”
