The requested information is of such a nature that it would form part of the broader operational strategy of the State Security Agency (SSA) and therefore as a matter of policy the SSA does not disclose such information. It should however, be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence, the Inspector-General of Intelligence and the Auditor-General.
