'That was the position until 2012, when the mandate of the structure was changed.'
Mr Y told the commission that the unit used to solely"deal with strategic projects that are very sensitive".
"It happened with the appointment of Mr Thulani Dlomo. All the members of the unit were informed that they would no longer be working on identified focus areas, for instance transnational organised crime [and] counter-terrorism. It was decided that they would now be doing risk assessment and security directly related to the president at the time, Mr Zuma."
