Ex, current spies must get boss’s green light before testifying, ANC proposes ahead of impeachment probe
The ANC has proposed that current and former intelligence officials must obtain permission from the State Security Agency director-general before testifying in the impeachment probe against President Cyril Ramaphosa. Critics fear this could be used to block key witnesses like Arthur Fraser from testifying regarding the Phala Phala scandal.
Why it matters
This proposal directly impacts the transparency and procedural integrity of a high-stakes presidential impeachment process.
The ANC and the DA want forensic investigators and other experts to comb through evidence before the impeachment committee to test the allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The framing highlights the potential for obstruction, reflecting common critical discourse surrounding the ANC's handling of the scandal.
