UNITED Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa has taken to the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence about a damning report on judicial corruption.
He said on Monday, 27 November, that the report was allegedly drafted by former State Security Agency (SSA) boss Thembisile Majola.
“It contains highly shocking and damaging assertions affecting the integrity of SA judiciary,” said Holomisa.
In the letter sent to the committee, he said he anonymously received a 54-page report from Majola.
“It contains highly shocking and damaging assertions that could affect the local and international integrity and reputation of the South African Judiciary and several prominent judges, as well as have implications for the Judicial Conduct Committee and Legal Aid South Africa.
“Given the length of the report and the detail given therein, it strikes one as having been made of a considered mind and that this information should be deemed of critical national importance,” said Holomisa.

He asked the intelligence committee to investigate the report and said it should be taken seriously.
Majola resigned from SSA, and her departure was announced by the presidency on Wednesday, 15 November.
It was reported that she left because of tensions between her and the Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
But Ntshavheni had denied these claims.
Ntshavheni said Majola had resigned from her position before she was appointed by the Minister responsible for SSA in March, but President Cyril Ramaphosa had asked Majola to stay on to stabilise the department.
When Daily Sun contacted Holomisa on Monday night for further comments on the allegations, he said the report was classified, which prohibited him from commenting.
