State security minister's office silent about spy allegations
20 May 2019
State security minister, Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba's office remained silent on Sunday following allegations in a weekend newspaper that she had lived a double life for a decade, earning millions as a spy while still an MEC in Limpopo.
The Sunday Independent reported that four independent and well-placed sources had said her so-called spy activities had been conducted through a front company, Motse Pele Security, which she co-founded with her late husband Mose Jacob Duba in 1996. She was reportedly, until recently, one of the directors.
The publication reported that through this company, the State Security Agency (SSA) bought luxury cars and rented safe houses in the country and abroad.
According to the front-page article, a senior official at the agency said Letsatsi-Duba was used to spy on her cadres ahead of the ANC's Polokwane conference in 12 years ago and had earned millions for her efforts.
