Mbhele, Mr ZN to ask the Minister of State Security
With reference to his reply to question 1972 on 7 July 2017, what number of the threat assessments conducted (a) in the (i) 2010-11, (ii) 2011-12, (iii) 2012-13, (iv) 2013-14, (v) 2014-15, (vi) 2015-16 and (vii) 2016-17 financial years and (b) since 1April 2017, contained a recommendation that security for very important persons be (i) provided and/or (ii) increased for the individual(s) concerned?
Reply:
The threat assessments that SSA provide, in compliance with the counter intelligence mandate as provided for in the National Strategic Act of 1994 (No. 39 of 1994) as amended, do not prescribe security measures that need to be implemented in response to a threat. The determination of the measures to be applied is the prerogative of the requesting institution.
