S Africa spied on Russia for
satellite project details
South Africa's State Security Agency is relying on an
agent in Russia for details of a secretive satellite surveillance project
being developed in cooperation between South Africa's military intelligence
service and Russia, according to a top-secret spy cable obtained by Al
Jazeera's Investigative Unit.
The
cable from 2012 says Russia and South Africa are working to develop a satellite
that will place South Africa "in a position to conduct its own aerial
surveillance in Africa, potentially right up to Israel for strategic military
purposes".
