Jacques Pauw: 'Inspector-General wanted letter from me to clear his name'
12 April 2018
In a bid to clear his name, Inspector-General of Intelligence (IGI) Setlhomamaru Dintwe sought proof in black and white that he had not supplied The President's Keepers author Jacques Pauw with top secret security documents.
Dintwe requested a letter from Pauw to confirm that neither he nor his staff had given Pauw the state security documents, Pauw told News24.
Pauw said Dintwe had told him at the time that there were perceptions at the State Security Agency (SSA) that his office provided him with the documents.
Pauw's revelation follows the release of a statement on Wednesday in which Dintwe said he had launched an urgent court application in which he accused SSA director-general of Arthur Fraser of interfering with his functions and of seeking to revoke his security clearance.
