The State Security Agency refuses to publicly account for delays in vetting senior government and Eskom officials.
“We wrote to them as normal for this meeting, a confirmation was sent that the deputy minister would be representing SSA and would appear before us. That was subsequently withdrawn with a letter I received yesterday indicating that the SSA will go to JSCI and that they will not report to us,” said Scopa chairperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa.
He said this was even more so, because former ministers Ayanda Dlodlo and Bongani Bongo had appeared before Scopa to talk about the matter. In October 2019 Dlodlo told Scopa 100 senior Eskom officials refused to undergo the agency’s security vetting process. Two years earlier her predecessor Bongo shared similar information with the committee about state employees involved in procurement refusing to undergo such screening.
