    2 days ago | dailymaverick.co.za | Caryn Dolley

    The SSA is tightening the screws on laws criminalising espionage – and is on the alert for treason, disinformation campaigns and foreign interference. This emerged in Parliament after US President Donald Trump again falsely claimed there is a ‘white farmer genocide’ in SA. Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has made it clear that the State Security Agency (SSA) is on the alert for any disinformation campaigns, foreign meddling and treasonous acts.

    Four foreign nationals were last week sentenced for trying to smuggle thousands of live ants out of Kenya, with authorities there highlighting a global biopiracy problem tied to the exotic pet market.

    Richard Payne is wanted in South Africa in a multimillion-rand case rooted in 2006 involving alleged tender fraud and the Gauteng health department. His extradition is now looking less likely, or further off, though, because of a recent UK court ruling. An extradition matter that ended up in South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal has had ripple effects in the United Kingdom (UK) — and this is set to affect a major criminal case rooted in Gauteng.

In 2021 Daily Maverick reported that the Western Cape’s Anti-Gang Unit may have been a gimmick to attract voters in the run-up to an election and that the police watchdog found it was poorly resourced. Now more suggests it still lacks resources. https://t.co/Kc0gyUIp4N
