We need a full-scale investigation into the SSA's "signalgate" at Parliament
19 February 2015
The Minister for State Security, David Mahlobo, is in all out damage control mode following the signal disruption scandal at the State of the Nation Address on 12 February 2015 at Parliament.
The Minister is following a "rogue official defence" which has become standard operating procedure for dealing with major scandals that have broken out under President Jacob Zuma.
Ultimately a few officials will be made to walk-the-plank in order to firewall members of the executive from political fallout.
An investigation is already underway into officials who were allegedly responsible for an "operational error" which resulted in the signal disruption.
