Intelligence/ Appointment of a new head of the oversight authority for intelligence agencies

 South Africa will have a new inspector-general of intelligence in the next few months after Parliament has finalised the process of appointing the successor to Faith Radebe.

Members of the joint standing committee on intelligence will next week convene their first meeting to set in motion processes of shortlisting and interviewing candidates for the top intelligence job.

Committee chairwoman Connie September on Tuesday refused to comment on the process.

The DA had earlier in the week called for an open and transparent process in the appointment of a new head of the oversight authority for intelligence agencies.

The inspector-general of intelligence oversees the work of intelligence agencies of the state, including the State Security Agency, intelligence in defence and crime intelligence in the police.
