The JSCI informed Ramaphosa of a complaint it received on Fazel’s conduct, which it is investigating according to the Intelligence Services Act.
“Section 7(5) of the Act provides that ‘if the Inspector-General is the subject of an investigation by the (JSCI) in terms of subsection (4), he or she may be suspended by the President pending a decision in such investigation’,” said Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Vincent Magwenya.
