Spies lead the way in Big Powers' second scramble for Africa
In Summary
A South African assessment of its security apparatus revealed that more than 140 foreign spies operate in the country and had gained access to the presidency and government ministries.
Foreign spies also collect sensitive information by stealing it from laptop computers, gaining access to insufficiently locked-up facilities, senior officials in sensitive institutions and unencrypted information conveyed through landline or mobile phones.
Another means of collecting sensitive information is through smart phones, tablets, laptops, pens and pennants given out as presents. Mossad agents have even used dirty tricks like threatening the South African government with cyber attacks against country's banking and financial sectors.
In an encounter that lasted 40 minutes, Mr Kibaki was sullen and challenged Mr William Bellamy to share specific information that guided his government's decision. Mr Kibaki said he could only act against Mr Murungaru if he was handed specific evidence.
