Minister of State Security Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba reacts to the findings of the high-level review panel into the State Security Agency.
JOHANNESBURG - From about 2005, with the emergence of the divisions within the African National Congress , there has been a growing politicisation and factionalisation of the civilian intelligence community based on the factions within the party.
Minister of State Security Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba says she was warned that she would be inheriting a department of lawlessness with low morale before occupying the ministerial position last year. Letsatsi-Duba said while the report came out with damning findings, it also provides them with the opportunity to identify areas that need to be fixed and “correct what happened in the past.”
