As J Edgar Hoover did during his long tenure as FBI boss, South Africa’s former spy chief has seemingly amassed potentially damaging information on leading figures in the ANC
The Economic Freedom Fighters leader has accused the president of defeating the ends of justice
ANC head of presidency Sibongile Besani says no party structure has complained about the president since former spy boss Arthur Fraser laid the corruption charges against him
The president seeks to dispel allegations against him, saying they will not deter him from fighting corruption
The president faces investigations from SARS and the Reserve Bank on top of charges laid by former spy boss Arthur Fraser
Feeling sorry for the president’s new spokesperson? Spare a thought for eThekwini’s public reps
The presidency says while a robbery took place, there was “no basis” for Fraser’s allegation.

The deputy chief justice said all the former spy boss had to do to respond to bombshell testimony implicating him in state capture was to apply for a turn to testify
The former director general of intelligence’s character assassination of the deputy chief justice is straight out of the Zuma playbook
