Public Protector has poured cold water on allegations by the DA that former police minister Fikile Mbalula acted improperly in giving VIP protection services to Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
But Mkhwebane found that the VIP protection of Dlamini-Zuma even after her term of office at the AU was substantiated by the threats which had been identified by the State Security Agency and Crime Intelligence.
"Dr Dlamini-Zuma was recognised in a document called Risk Management Support System prescripts which is classified top secret as a person entitled to be accorded SAPS VIP protection, immediately after the expiry of her term of office as AU chairperson …" She said the protection offered was reduced when the level of risk was scaled down after she was appointed SA's minister for planning, monitoring and evaluation.
"Having considered the complaint … I could not find any reason to conclude that Dr Dlamini-Zuma was improperly accorded VIP protection services by the minister," Mkhwebane said. This was one of 11 reports delivered by Mkhwebane's office on Wednesday.
