SPY TRIAL : EFF secures Zuma-era SSA spy records as Idac stands by R12m case

The EFF has secured access to court records detailing how the party was targeted and infiltrated by the State Security Agency (SSA) during the Zuma-era, according to Daily Maverick. This development comes as the two men accused in the R12-million Project Mayibuye case prepare to ask the court to discharge them without presenting a defence.

The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) maintains confidence in the charges against Patrick Mshothola and Thulani "Silence" Dlomo, stating that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence during their trial. The EFF is seeking access to transcripts of open-court proceedings and relevant court documents to establish the full record of evidence concerning the operation that allegedly used a contract involving Korolo Investment Holdings to fund the covert operation.
